Scientists are crazy. Ohioans are mad. But Ohio based scientists take the cake.
That amuses me.
Maybe it's just because it's an AOHell affiliated website, but I laughed.
Just the absurdity of seeing a headline that said, "whales may have had tails", before I clicked on the link, broke my head. Does that mean they don't have tails now? I missed out on that part of evolution. They sure lost them fast.

Incidentally, Thewissen was also the guy who discovered Ambulocetus. I guess he's hell-bent on going further back in the origin of whales, even if he has to base his hypothesis on composite skeletons and earbone-thickness... well, let's see what happens when more fossils of that type are discovered.

Well, his hypothesis makes more sense then hippos, as far as I can tell. Whales couldn't have come from hippos if they appeared at the same time. That seems a bit obvious, though.
