I guess brain development completely stops along with bodily development at a certain point. That would be an interesting prospect to look into.

one these things are not like the other, one of these things disturbed the fuck out of me after hearing the whale "speak".
It sounds like a singing redneck
what would happen if we genetically enginnered some animal like this or a monkey to have vocal choords nearly identical to humans.
Would it be able to communicate and learn better or worse than mitt romney?

Moral of the story: Don't sell cocain to whales.

I remember reading that if you chopped a giraffe's neck down to human size it would have the right vocal chords to speak english.

Brain development perhaps, but that still wouldn't explain why it stopped. You didn't forget how to speak when your brain stopped developing!
My guess would be it stopped because the vocal chords changed shape as it grew. A bit like when a guy's voice breaks, only with a larger difference
sounds like someone speaking through a kazoo
It would be cool if we came across another species that would talk pretty much like humans.
But maybe not on Earth.
Reminds me of this movie. Dolphin learns how to speak...assassination attempt on the president, etc.
