thought this might have been posted earlier but it hasn't...

briefly, a northern bottle nosed whale decided it would pay london a visit yesterday, totally out of the area these whales normally reside.

at 12 noon today it was decided to capture the whale and transport it on to a barge and then move it back out to sea, thats the stage we are at at the moment.

The only thing that needs to be done now is a few tests to see if the whale is in a fit state to be returned to the sea.

I thought this thread was going to be about your mom.

it is on cnn right now

I was listening to this all afternoon yesterday on the radio, can't believe how long it's been going on. They were reporting people jumping into the river and trying to push it back into the centre. Madness.

*crosses fingers for the whale*

What if it's a terrorist disguised as a whale?

That whale blows.

its amazing, the whale got oxygen masks and blood tests and injections and stuff, he got MORE MEDICAL ATTENTION than the British NHS provides for 5 PEOPLE

Hahaha, whales are better than dying grannies, apparently.

Damn straight.

That's strange timing. This past week, a mother Right whale and a calf were seen in the Gulf of Mexico, waaaay way way outside their usual areas.

Conspiracy?

haha scuppered

The Whale died!!! :(:(:(

Ruthven beat me to it.

I'm sad for the whale by the way, not because I was beaten.

This is what happens when you use the Improbability Drive.

i hope the spirit of the dead whale eats you in your sleep, you insensitive swine!
