Just like you, I’m a little creeped out about what the Killer Whale taking out its trainer at Sea World. Somewhere in your head you know that it’s a wild creature, but you never expect the thing to turn on you.

One person said the whale saw the trainer’s pony tail and grabbed it.  Other accounts say the thing jumped out of the water like Jaws and grabbed her.

I don’t know how it went down, but I do know these things about killer whales.

1.  If you traverse onto a rock barrier wall between the ocean and its containment pool, the whale will jump over you, Free Willy style, when you raise your fist in the air.  Also, expect to get wet.

2. Michael Jackson’s music seems to play when killer whales are around.

3. Chris Farley has to date, made the funniest SNL sketch about whales at marine theme parks.

4. Even though it has Bo Derek’s first role, the movie Orca still sucks.

5. I’m not ever getting into one of those nasty giant fish tanks that the whales swim in.

That’s being said.  I don’t fear the sea creatures themselves, that’s what leads to hating them.  I’m just gonna give them their space and not get in their way.  Mmmm…yeah probably a good idea.
