You see a sign at the aquarium that says: ALLEDGED KILLER WHALE

Are we sure PETA isn't involved??

In case you don't know this, the killer whale gets it's name because it kills other whales . As far as I know they don't attack humans. That sign is funny though. Wonder if they did that as a joke?

Is the whale going to sue for libel/slander if we keep calling him a killer whale?

That's hilarious! Did you really see a sign that said that? I am a total "aquarium addict" and I would have died laughing if I had seen that! The "proper" name for a killer whale is an orca, by the way!

I didn't actually see the sign. I read about it in a magazine.

That's a good one! I thought that maybe you had gone to the Vancouver Aquarium and had seen that sign!

I work at the Seattle Aquarium so next time I work, I'm going to tell my supervisor that! She'll get a big kick out of it!
