Very sad news

Today, the world was stunned by the news of the death of the
Energizer Bunny. He was six years old. Authorities believe that the
death occurred at approximately 8:42 last evening.

Best known as the irritating pink bunny that kept going, and going,
and going, "Pinkie", as his friends and family knew him, was alone at
the time of his death.

An emergency autopsy was performed early this morning. Chief
Medical Examiner, Dura Cell, concluded that the cause of death was
acute cardiac arrest induced by sexual over-stimulation.

Apparently, someone had put the bunny's batteries in backwards and
he kept coming, and coming, and coming.........

Georgia Aquarium whale shark dies

Atlanta.? A prized whale shark at the world's largest aquarium died Thursday night, the second death of a popular animal at the center in 10 days.

Ralph, one of four whale sharks in the only such exhibit outside Asia, arrived at the Georgia Aquarium in June 2005 from Taiwan, where he had been destined to become seafood. The cause of death was not immediately determined.

"Recently, he has not been eating well and has had some unusual swimming patterns," aquarium spokeswoman Donna Fleishman said. He was moved to another part of the tank after he stopped swimming and died eight hours later, Aquarium executive director Jeff Swanagan said.

Ralph was considered a teenager.

Ralph and Norton, the aquarium's other male whale shark, arrived together and were joined a year later by two females, Alice and Trixie, in their 6 million gallon tank.

Whale sharks are the world's largest fish, growing up to 50 feet long.

Gasper, one of the aquarium's five beluga whales, was euthanized Jan. 2 after months of declining health.
