Whalers, Don't Take it Away Toe low sounds of whales Singing softly through the warm waters.

Softly, and so calmly.

Giving birth to their new life.

Toe mothers are here to give their newborns Wann, soothing milk.

Oh whalers, don't take it away for they are dying in this cruel world please, whalers, think about it.

-Regan Thibodeau

Why It's Dangerous to Dance with King Cobras King Cobras have been dangerous all their lives. They endan­ ger us and threaten to strike at times. But dancing with them is absolutely ridiculous! It is dangerous because they might get bothered and they could bite you and you would die instantly. I plan to tell one story about a person who actually danced with a cobra, and also to discuss the International Cobra Dancers Association, or ICDA. Abdu Shaku was a professional Indian cobra dancer. He really enjoyed leaping through the air and swinging the cobra in between his legs as he flew through the air. Toe snake seemed not to mind as long as Abdu took it seriously. One day, however, as he was performing for a large street crowd, somebody farted quite loudly.

This made Abdu laugh. He lost his concentration, and as he was doing a leap in the air, the cobra bit him on the ankle and Abdu died instantly. So fast that he was dead before he even hit the ground People stared and crowded around; some gawked and others left.

Finally, somebody announced that he would treat everyone to beer and crackers in honor of Abdu. So they all left for the local bar, leaving Abdu's body behind Even the snake left for a couple of drinks. Abdu's body has now been laying at the same spot for five years. It's nothing but bones now, but it sure smells!

Now to talk about the infamous ICDA. This group was established in 1111 B.C., when cobra dancing popularity was at its peak. Its founder was named Lazztkskelettxnnmvbxe or just Lazzie for short The association has been going on for quite some time now, and to date, it has the whopping amount of twenty members!

By the end of September this year, only two members remained.

Now ICDA is searching for more members. If you are enthusiastic to join, call 1-900-JOIN-NOW. It's only $10 for 5 minutes, and the average call takes three hours. Kids, don't bother getting your parents' permission before calling, but if you join and end up dead three days later, it's not our fault!
