  "I think this is the tip of the iceburg," Ms Fox said.

  Meanwhile, the nun allegedly said she wanted to play "hide the iceberg in the Titanic".

  Recipes for Pig Tails

  when i was a child, my mother used to cook pig tails a lot.. she would stew them down in onions, peppers, and other spices.

  then she would dust them lightly with flour and brown them in the oven.

  they were simply delicious.. i haven't had any for a while now due to blood pressure problems.

  There's a lot of immigrants from the West Indies in my part of Montreal and I can vouch that PrimitiveGenius's story is true. The REAL way to eat that is to supposedly let it sit in a bucket overnight till it congeals.
  
  I've personally never eaten it, but I'd probably like it.

  Uh, they're pig tails. You know, curly things on the back of critters that go "oink".
  
  My grandmother used to cook them in a big pot with pole beans, carrots, potatoes, cabbage and turnips. The saltiness of the pig tails seasoned the vegetables and it made for some heavy-duty comfort food.
  
  I can't seem to find them anywhere though. I tried asking the girl at the butcher counter of the local supermarket and she looked at me as if I was nuts.

  The rockies are awe-inspiring (though I've never been), British Columbia has beautiful rainforests, Montreal has great culture, food and nightlife, the Maritimes have beautiful scenery and great seafood, there's great camping in Northern Ontario and awesome fishing and aurora borealis (Northern lights) in the Northwest Territories.
  
  I'd just avoid the Prairies, I spent two years out there and only the locals seem to like it.

  I remember when my family visited bethel we got to stay in the regular bethelite apartments in Brooklyn and the TVs there got cable.
  
  I remember thinking how funny it was that I was watching a very violent old Charles Bronson movie at Bethel, of all places.

  Whales & Other air breathing marine life

  sea animals like whales, dolphins and porpoises all need to surface for air.

  they could easily drown.

  wouldn't a wise creator, the author of perfection have seen fit to give them gills?

  Here's a fantastic article talking about the transitional forms that led up to modern whales. It goes to show how evolution slowly adapted these mammals for purely aquatic life.
