It's a big world. What are those whales doing in the sky!? Silly whales...

- AceJohnny2 14y agoNot sure, they don't seem to be falling. I thought they might be a reference to the Star Trek "whale probe" from The Voyage Home [1] but they're too small for that. Maybe just some random fun like the flying or underground jellyfish. [1] http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Star_Trek_IV:_The_Voyage_Home http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Star_Trek_IV:_The_Voyage_Hom...
- dstorrs 14y agoThose aren't underground jellyfish, they are underwater. That part of the word (west of center, where the ships are) is ocean. But yeah, it's confusing at first.
- basseq 14y agoHHGTTG was my first thought, too. But there are two whales (and no petunias). Did anyone else see the raptor in the grass?

- aamar 14y agoLook like humpback whales. Unlikely to be a reference, but it did remind me of the whale sequence from the second Fantasia movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGZeT07rqlU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGZeT07rqlU
- brianstorms 14y agoThere's a great animated short from the 1980s called SKY WHALES. Check it out if you can find it. I assumed this was the reference...
