Upon corresponding with the new Tonmo member, Darquerift, we agreed that Dr. O'Shea's discovery of a new species of whale certainly merited some further study, and illustration...One of the most touched by the poignant tale was Pauline's daughter (we hope to have pics of her drawing up soon...she is one of the few people who have actually survived a fangiwhale sighting...)...who did a pencil rendition of the fearsome creature. Perhaps it was her youth that protected her mind, because after collaborating on this project with Darquerift, I find myself casting glances behind more often than is healthy, and was asked to leave a pub because I was staring at a group of fishermen too hard...and I am afraid of the bathtub...

Hard research data is forthcoming, and will be posted on this thread as it develops...we ask all of you to be carefull when viewing images of the two jawed fangiwhale...it may cause you to wear wigs and become a cephologist.

Looking at the drawings, it is possible that this rare animal may indeed be related to Basilosaurus (Basilisaurus)... why the two jaws evolved is still unknown, but one theory is that they were used to grasp/impale giant squids while the main jaw tore off hunks of flesh...

ha what the hell is a Two Jawed Fangiwhale???? And i have a tree octo.

Well, CW, that is exactly what Pauline and I are trying to fathom...garbled bits of information pop up from time to time from ancient mariners, but most of them are rendered unstable from the viewing of a live fangiwhale...why? We don't know...but we do have empirical evidence to support the existance of such a fiercesome creature...the mauled bodies of giant squid and even some whales found in the oceans point to Two Jawed Fangiwhale attacks, with peculiar bite marks and severe blood loss...there was also the Chilean Globster sighting that may be related...
A lot of questions still need to be researched...but, fear not, we are working day and night on them !
greg

My rendition done....was a difficult thing, as i had to turn away from it's fearsome image...sent shivers down my spine. Greg, my daughter is doing well and made a full recovery from her harrowing experience..

I recieved some sketches in the post yesterday, done by a madman off the coast of Nova Scotia...http://members.cox.net/ewaldbros/fangiwhale%20sketches.JPG

From these sketches, I was able to come up with an initial idea of what this beast might appear as...although I have never actually seen it, as Pauline's daughter has...
The mysteries of the deep !

From the stories I heard this was the closet I could come
http://www.geocities.com/paulinestrike/fangi5.jpg
....it seems there are differences from what eyewitnesses have to say. Now my daughter, she barely escaped with her life. Face to face and survived!!

Somewhat different, yet eerily similar too...they way that your daughter has rationalized the horror by presenting the fangiwhale with a goldfish may be the key to unlocking the madman's minds...very interesting indeed !
Did she say if it made any sounds that were observable, once she was awake?

greg

I'm not sure if what she says has any barring....she seems like she's improved but still bursts out with silly fits of laughter. I asked her the sound it made and all she could do was giggle. I fear she may be going mad. I'll make her some calming herbal tea, and ask again later. Pray for her...she's been under extreme stress and all, you understand.

Hmmm...Laughing. that is what Mike Shaunessey did too, before he tried to claw his eyes out with a bent plastic fork obtained from a local Taco Bell...keep a watch on her ! Hopefully, (and I am sure this is the case) she has glossed over the event, and in her mind, it is viewed as just imagination...poor girl.
We will all pray for her.

UPDATE: Logan had returned from school...and she seemed back to her normal self. I asked her again if the creature she encountered made any noise. With a glaring look in her eye she snottily snapped out,"Why are you talking about me??!!"....then started giggling again. Either she is seeping into a deep rooted denial as Greg suggests or adolescences is rearing it's ugly head. About a half hour later she approached me....she remembered something. She said it rumbled with a BlurrRRRRrrrrrrrrb....sort of a cross between modern day whale song and a large carniverous roaring creature.....mixed in with a lot of blubby noises.
Be sure next time we explore the remote Casperson Beach, i will have my video camera to document any possible encounters.

Is this real?! Doesn't sound right to me, and the 2 jawed thing looks like aone of the monsters in Blade 2 I think... :confused:

wtf? (whitemen throw fish)

BTFBAW? ( Blackmen throw fish back at whitemen)

Is this real, doesn't sound real to me.

Lol :grin:

Some one is deporting Michael here I think (Work out what that means Chrono) :wink:

:shock: ( No idea...) Michael who (Jackson?)

:roflmao:
Kind of like Orsen Wells with his War of The Worlds broadcast.
Seriously folks....if anyone else has seen the infamous Colossal Two Jawed Fangiwhale, please let us know your experiences or sightings...any eyewitness sketches or encounters would greatly help this research. First mentioned by Dr. SOS himself in the Rambling Cephalopod Narration, page one.
" A tear fell on the meal .... they commenced their descent. It would be six hours before they reached the bottom. Six long hours. And the waters were dangerous ... riddled with taniwha, giant squid, and the colossal two-jawed fangiwhale."

My daughter is back to her normal self now, so it seems. She now claims she has never seen such a thing....her mind has walled up her traumatic experience..pushed it back. I feel that psychotherapy will be the only way to dredge up what she has locked away in her head. She is so fragile now. Perhaps in the future she'll talk more,....I wonder how she'll react when we venture forth again to those beaches.

taniwha? WTF again (Waxball throwing frogs)

Oh come on...you haven't heard of the taniwa ? There should be some info on google...its a large deep sea fish, looks like a Sloan's viperfish crossed with a barimundi...I've heard that they are good to eat, but haven't had the chance to try one...Dr.SOS? Any comments???Surely you have eaten taniwa...?
greg

not a taniwha

What the hell is a Tanwha! Or whatever you spell it! :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:
Nuthin on the web or I don't know that is a Taniwha.

Taniwha tastes like .... hmmmmmm ..... beans, sausages, toast, butter, sourcream and egg, with a waterweed garnish. Yummmy.

I think I need to draw a colossal two-jawed fangiwhale too.

Yeah, I had heard that they had an esoteric sort of flavour...must be because of their own predatory diet...after all, feeding on juvenile arch's would lend the flesh a little of an odd and pervading odour...

Yes, you should add in some drawings...after all, you are as close to the source as any of us (except perhaps Darquerift...) Maybe scour some pubs filled with fishermen and see if you can get a description...take Kat with you too...

Hey, look what I found....some of you probably know this but i sure didn't.
"A taniwha (pronounced "TAH-ni-fah") is a legendary monster said by the Maori to live in the ocean and inland waters of New Zealand, hiding in deep pools, rivers, lakes, and dark caves. The Waikato River proverbially has a hundred of them, one on each bend.

Taniwha were often guardians to Maori tribes and also pets or friends to specific historical/legendary people.

Wellington's harbour, Te Whanganui-a-Tara, was reputedly carved out by two taniwha, the petrified remains of one became one of the hills overlooking the city.

Long relegated to the realms of folklore by the european of New Zealand, a taniwha became a cause of much contraversy in 2002 when a Maori tribe successfully halted and eventually redirected the redevelopment of a major highway in order the protect the home of thier legendary protector.

A taniwhasaur is a variety of mosasaur."

Another source showed a wool mural of a Taniwha....it looks like a huge Octopus.

If I had a scanner I would post some fangiwhale sketches of my own!

"if I had a scanner,
I'd scan in the morning,
I'd scan in the evening,
all over this land...
I'd scan out a warning!
I'd scan out danger!
I'd scan out to all my brothers and my sisters,
all over this land..."

Sorry...just hit me that way...LOL

Nice poetry, song, poem whatever...

I need a two jawed something or other for a pet...would keep it in my garage....that or a pet giant squid. I've been invaded for 3 days now, at least 5 raccoons moved into my garage and keep trashing the place.....I chase them out (learned that raccoons growl loudy), but they keep coming back. What a mess they make!! :bugout:

use those dog cages where when they step in to bite the piece of bait, the opening closes, trapping the raccon. Then, when you catch one, blow its brains off with a shotgun..or you can always feed them your left overs from a little metal dish. Make them tame you know...

Shoot them?? :shock:
They are a nusiance but i could never hurt them...they're really cute, a family of babies. I did some research and found that as soon as I remove any food or water source they'll leave....I hope, cause they've destroyed a ton of stuff. I have a mound waiting for the garbage men tomorrow. They even pooed inside my dryer...upside down. They got poo over everything....they opened my toolbox and soiled everything in it. Not to mention anything that is on a shelf winds up busted on the floor. I have no more Christmas decorations left, they broke it all. I can call animal control when they open tomorrow. The sheriff's dept. thinks it's funny as all heck and aren't much help. Smart little guys moved in during the weekend. In the meantime I need a fangiwhale to scare them out.
Did i mention they growl?? They really snarl and gnash their little teeth. More scared of me than I am of them. My main concern is the poo though, if they are diseased animals I read they can pass disease through their fecal matter...like distemper and rabies...I didn't know you could get rabies from that. They soiled on everything they could possible find....I've never seen such a mess, and I thought my kids were bad. :roll:

You have kids? :shock:
And for the racoons, I think its the warmth and food they want.
And racoon only pick good poeple's homes' to stay, they know who nice and who's evil. I don't think Colin will be recieving any racoon dropping. Not now, not ever.

:lol:
Colin, are you a meanie??
Yes, Chrono, I got myself 3 kids....16, 11, and 10.
It's been a cold week here, we've had very low temps, brrr cold stuff...the garage is a much nicer place for raccoons to hide in during this cold spell. I've battled them for 3 days now...they like it in there. I'd rather have the snakes...the snakes that come in don't trash the place.

I like racoons and hiding in a garage sure is better than having no where to hide with a bunch of youngsters following you. :wink:
HK is getting colder! The last few days 'round Christmas was the coldest Christmas day in 43 years.

What's a raccoon dropping look like, and why isn't Colin going to get any?

I think Phil has an ammonite dropping, or a big marine lizard-dropping full of ammonites or trilobites ... and I think he paid a lot for it (looks like a donut-shaped pile of debris).

There's money in scat. I think you should hoard the stuff in your closet.

I don't really know what normal raccoon droppings look like...these were youngsters, and they ate two boxes of bran cereal...plus some corn pops, not normal....was rather messy. Colin can't have any cause the garbage men already came.....and I am officially free of them now, the last left yesterday afternoon. Hey, I found an old photo of a unidentified beached sea critter...looks like a large whale of sorts but has two huge tusks, is from 1950. Also looks like a mangled squid in it's mouth, most likely decomposing flesh of the creature itself, but what a wild photo. I've asked permission to post it, hope I get it. A real fangiwhale?? Greg would love to look at this pic, looks more like his version of it.

Yet another case of Life imitating Art...happens all the time.

Yup, that's right. It's a Cambrian 520mya Anomalocaris vomit full of trilobite chunks from Utah. I was very lucky on e-bay and only paid £6.50 for it ($10?). Very interesting fossil indeed as nothing other than Anomalocaris was knocking around back then to produce a vomit/turd 3" across!

Still undecided if it is a coprolite or regurgitolite. :mrgreen:

I am so disappointed. I ordered some canned Fangiwhale from a Japanese sushi outfit (vending machine) but when it arrived it was only common sea badger!

I was looking fowards to some nice fangiwhale blubber bacon sandwiches. They go well with curried belemnite.

hahaha..whatever....

Happy Chinese New Year.

This is the Chinese year of the Rooster, isn't it?? It's supposed to be a good year for advancment and productivity.

Yes, it's the year of the rooster but it all depends on which year you were born in for the"advancment and productivity'...PM me if your interested.

I have no coprolite in my collection (collect rocks, minerals, and fossils)...though I do have a neat specimen of fulgarite that looks like a turd. I have some large cool teeth, I'm calling them Fangiwhale teeth since i have no idea what critter they came from.

I have 2 shells that my mom bought in Nepal, looks like the spiral thing of a :belemnit: and a shell of a :ammonite:. Posting pics soon.
