    The whale said she did not like being referred to as a "humpback", and asked "do you want us to call humans 'bobble-heads'?" And she said the space cadets (people from SETI, or Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) made her "nervous" with their aluminum foil hats. Finally, "Twain" is not her real name, she just uses it when she talks to weirdos.

    Scientists had a groundbreaking conversation with a humpback whale in her own language and it could help humans chat with aliens one day
