I concur with your question. I do believe the blue whale is the largest mammal, is it not?

And great recollection of your night! I too am jealous!! I havent spoken with dear damo in years. And I cant seem to make it to any of his northeast gigs this time around

Being new to the board, this intrigued me -- is there another Damo album coming out in January? Is the joke about another release coming out so soon or that he would do a 'happy' album?

I think they were both part of the joke... This album was supposed to be the 'angry' album... but it didnt' quite go that far. As for the next album, it could be any time... but I wouldn't expect it for a fair old while yet.

Good work ma boy. Glad you were able to meet them and enjoy. I loved the show myself. Honestly in my top 5 of all the shows I've ever been too and I don't say that after every show I go to. A wonderful time, and I know everyone on here who went shares in that sentiment. Hopefully I can meet some of you at the Beacon shows.

It is the largest species, but it's not the largest living organism on the planet, anyone who can tell me what is gets a cookie... and it's not some pretentious answer like the earth, nor a hilarious one, like Chuck Norris.

Not the sea, or farts, or even pickles.

Farts are big though. Or can be. In so many ways.

I think I googled myself to the answer, but I'll shut it if you give me money.

Well fair enough then. The largest living thing is a a group of Aspen Trees in Utah, which were found to share a root structure, the plant qualifies as both the oldest and largest living thing on this planet. It covers 80 hectares and weighs 2200 tons.

That's only true if you don't consider the Great Barrier Reef to be a living thing, while not technically an organism, it is a superorganism, and it's 2000km long. It sure kicks the sh*t out of a Blue Whale anyway.

I believe it's a giant ****ing mushroom in Oregon or somewhere else in the Pacific Northwest.

Nah, the giant mushroom is discredited becuase it doesn't technically qualify as a single organism, apparently it's a lot of different things together.

What, Spamlet's Adventure? I think he told us as much as he was going to tell us. Anyway, we're not exactly preparing a speech here. Also, it is on topic, it's directly related to a question that Damien asked Spamlet, which was the topic of the thread; Spamlet talking to the band...

Perhaps if I said; "ZOMG111 I Cnt BeliEve U Tlkd 2 damo", would that suffice?

the adventures of spamlet.. it kind of has a ring to it..

i vote for the great barrier reef because 1) it was my first response and i don't want to be wrong, and 2) if it's a superorganism then it's an organism.. you can't discriminate because of it's superness

Sorry but the biologist in me has to intervene

By super organisms, it doesn't mean a big big organisms... it means lots of little organisms living together and interacting...

so a coral reef is a hell of a lot of individuals living together but you cannot consider it as 1 individual... sorri Sister M...

But it was on QI, if Stephen Fry said it then it must be true.

A giant fungus of the species Armillaria ostoyae in the Malheur National Forest in Oregon was found to span 8.9 km² (2200 acres). Whether or not this is an actual individual organism is disputed: some tests have indicated that they have the same genetic makeup, but this does not exclude its being a clonal colony of numerous smaller individuals.
Tits to Steven Fry.

It's not to do at all with a fungal bias. It's because, as he put it so eloquently in perhaps the single funniest line from the extremely witty "Peter's Friends":

"Oh, how can I put this delicately? It's just that I'm not really in 'the vagina business'!"

P.S. I will be answering some of the questions folks have been asking me in this thread soon. Sorry, I'm just a bit behind right now.

did you feel like this too? :

"I suppose it all began when I came out of the womb. I looked back up at my mother and thought to myself, 'That's the last time I'm going up one of those.'"
