Super power update

[fbhjr]

So I may have discovered what super power I got from that spider bite the other day.

I can talk to whales!

Now, my wife says it only counts if they understand me. And I agree they didn’t show any sign that they did. And, I don’t understand a bit of what they squeaked at me either.
But, I still talked to them.

(OK, you there who just said “anyone can stand at the side of the tank and talk to them” are missing the point.)

My wife said I should count that I seemed to be able to attract cow nose rays by cracking my knuckles underwater.
But, I’ve been cracking my knuckles underwater since the days I was on the swim team in the 70’s. I figure the rays think it’s the sound of a crab shell or something and came over to check it out. So, that doesn’t seem to be spider bite related.

(OK, you who just asked “why is standing next to a tank talking to whales spider bite related?” can just stop now.)

Even if the whales did talk to me and I understood them, I’m not sure I’d be big on listening.
How much is there to hear about fish anyhow?

I do have to admit, I’d like to know what they thought of the jello. I understand why the care takers give them things out of the ordinary to keep their lives interesting. But, the first time they expected fish and got jello, it might have been fun to hear them say “wtf?”
Maybe I need to be bitten by a sea anemone....
