That's very cool. In my house we have blue whale arteries instead of hallways.

They are only like 9 inches in diameter. Their hearts however are the size of small cars. Really, can't you at least make your outlandish claims physically possible?

Burhanistan: Guess you should cut him some slack, after all, you're talking about one of his subjects.

I guess so. His profile has quite a bold statement therein.

In a large whale, the main artery from the heart, the aorta, can be three feet wide; a small child could walk upright inside. Ok then. How is this: Near all the windows on the second story of my house we have fire escape chutes made from stitched together blue whale aortas that can be unfurled in an emergency and slid down to safety. Is that better, King?

That eye is going to haunt my dreams. Luckily, I almost never remember my dreams, or even was aware that I was dreaming when I wake up.
