Among the seven orcas who play Shamu in the famous killer-whale extravaganza at San Diego's SeaWorld, Kasatka is not the one to mess with - whether you're human or cetacean. At a mere 5,000 lb., she isn't the largest whale in the pod (the heaviest is 9,500 lb.), nor, at 30, is she the most senior. But she is what's called the dominant female.

After carrying the Son of God in her belly throughout 1st century Israel, Keisha should have no trouble with a regular pregnancy. And if she wants to skip the whole delivering-in-a-stable bit, that...
...antics.For those who loved Ferrell's arrogant newsman in Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, also directed by McKay, here Ferrell again struts about, proclaiming in a later scene that his nickname "El Diablo" means "fighting chicken," much as he explained in Anchorman that San Diego actually means "a whale's vagina...
