Can a whale crossbreed with a cow?

From Slashdot, reported by RemyBR:

“Controversial scientific research happens all the time, but a review conducted by scientists in Japan uncovered a list of ‘bizarre’ trials - including one program designed to crossbreed cows with whales. ‘Scientists have analyzed 43 research papers produced by Japan over 18 years, finding most were useless or esoteric. The scientific research included injecting minke whale sperm into cows eggs, and attempts to produce test-tube whale babies.’”

Whale, I’m just speechless. Cow you really do that?! (Intentional bad pun for their intentional bad idea.)

I challenge anyone to use Photoshop and come up with a picture of a whale-cow crossbreed.

    That’s kind of cool. I’m from Brazil, and a frequent reader of Japundit, and actually have published a few stories I found here on my website (www.cosplayers.net).

    Now to my surprise I find a post of mine that made it to Slashdot’s front page posted here.

    Just wanted to thank you guys for keeping the credits and congratulate you for your excellent job here!

    We share the same first name — although mine is written with an ‘I’ — so how can I not keep the credit for it? :)

    Good job on your articles. Cosplay forever!

    also its a strange coincidence that a female Whale is known as a Cow and it’s young are known as Calfs.
