Quoting "Hebda, Andrew J" <Andrew.Hebda@novascotia.ca>:
> Piers, H. (1920). Accidental occurrence of the Pygmy Sperm Whale

> in these waters of the true Sperm Whale (Physeter macrocephalus).
> Proceedings and Transactions of the Nova Scotian Institute of
> Science, 15(2), 95-114.
* an irrelevant bit of old verse:
The Sperm Whale's too big for a pet -
It needs a whole ocean - and yet
The Pygmy Sperm Whale can live in a pail
If the pail is the size of Tibet.

"[The] two fundamental steps of scientific thought - the conjecture
and refutation of Popper - have little place in the usual conception
of intelligence. If something is to be dismissed as inadequate, it is
surely not Darwin [, whose] works manifest the activity of a mind
seeking for wisdom, a value which conventional philosophy has largely
abandoned." Ghiselen, 1969. Triumph of the Darwinian Method, p 237.
