I dedicate this week...

Save A Whale Week!

Yes, I'm calling into effect an entire week dedicated to Nature's most gentle, over-hunted, fat guy. Discovery Channel? They have shark week. That's nothing compared to this. Bask in the sheer unfiltered terror of their ability to syphon krill from sea water...through their baleen. Be amazed by how they can dive for for extended periods of time, having underwater adventures, then surface, and expell the stale, old breath of air in a salty mist (yes, they breath air, because they're mammals -- warm blooded, bitch!). Gasp really loudly-so-people-can-hear over their unused vestigal leg bones!

So sit back, pop open a cold one and relax by some sort of ancient whale-oil burning lamp that's burning whale-oil, and let this intense, whale-tastic adventure commence. This week, you're gonna save learn about the overhunting and eventual extinction untold secret life...of whales.
