Is it not curious, that so vast a being as the whale should see the world through so small an eye, and hear the thunder through an ear which is smaller than a hare’s? But if his eyes were broad as the lens of Herschel’s great telescope; and his ears capacious as the porches of cathedrals; would that make him any longer of sight, or sharper of hearing? Not at all.—Why then do you try to “enlarge” your mind? Subtilize it.

It said that a whale shark was once found in the stomach of a blue whale. This is possible, the blue whale as a mouth the size of a small house, but why on earth would a blue whale eat a whale shark??? Surely the whale shark would be just too massive to be an worthwhile meal??? Hi again Zack.
