  2. There is one thing that I wonder: How could they do this work, If the fangs are as they are? And the penalty is for many cans and boxes both toothless elephant. Because we, a hanging it, but these sizes.

  3. Good, Worse what stools upholstered with whale foreskin Onassis wearing at the bar yacht. I always thought if the would remove the ballenos already dead or captured them, the circumcised and then released them. To me it gives me goosebumps just thinking about the poor ballenos the bud rubbing a raw 150 Kmt / h so saltwater. With what that must sour character…

  4. Did not know that Manuel, go to the Greek, Turks also did it to Ari (by that friendship with family), Young when he had to serve, Poor.

  5. Thank you for everything you've brought us to our small museum imagined, it's amazing. And makes me think. EVERYTHING is Cordoba and ALL this in one museum English. What will be no other? In the end…
