Ok. My world has been turned upside down.

I had no idea that narwhals were REAL. I never even heard of them before DU and when I clicked on narwhal threads, I just assumed it was some big joke. Ha Ha Ha! The joke's on me! It's really messing with my mind. I mean, they're whales with horns! I'm going to have nightmares tonight. :rofl:

Tell you what: Hang out here for a month, and then go back and take a look at GD.

It's like being raised by Gandhi and sent off to live with the Romans. ;)

15. I never knew about the horns.

But I knew they were cetaceans. They were even featured in a B-52 song - Rock Lobster?

29. So I asked my son when he got home from school today

if he knew what a narwhal was. He said, "They're whales with horns. They're the unicorns of the sea." I told him he was grounded for keeping this information from me.

34. Not only are they real, but

Their "horns" are actually overgrown teeth, thus lending them an eerie vampiric quality.

38. I know exactly what you mean.

I still don't believe they exist.

I took a coarse in oceanography years ago, I do not remember Narwhals, I remember sword fish, and many other types of water mammals and fish. But I do not remember Narwhals.

I have come to the conclusion they are an anomaly and do not really exist, errr.... its complicated, they may exist now, but wont exist later, and did not exist before. But that whole concept is insane in itself, so is irrelevant

So.....

Basically I don't believe they are real.

39. I'm trying to come to terms with the fact of their existence

but how can it be that I'm 42 and NEVER heard of them. Maybe I blocked it out because they're just so bizarre that my mind couldn't find a place to store the information. Kinda like "does not compute. must delete".
