A dead gray whale found recently on Pugent Sound.
Autopsy of a dead gray whale found on Puget Sound has discovered a large
amount of garbage in the stomach. The garbage was evidently recently
eaten, and included a pair of sweat pants and a golf ball, as well as "20
plastic bags, small towels, surgical gloves, plastic pieces and duct tape."
Biologists say the trash did not seem related to the whale's death and that
in fact the whale appeared to have been better fed than some other whales.
Lucky whale. I guess he must have scored himself some of that delicious
Pacific Trash Vortex before he died. Ummm, good…surgical gloves. They
say that if you close your big whale eyes that they taste a lot like chicken.
Or possibly squid.
And by the way I would just like to say that as much as I need a new pair
of sweat pants to sleep in at night that I think I'll skip getting a pair from
the stomach of a whale. Or from K-Mart.
This Insubstantial Pageant Faded 
:lol:I'd bet they get tired of that all-algae diet, yeah?I know I would.
😆 Poor thing, though. I bet Moby Dick never had such a diet. Mind you, maybe he'd have been happier if he had.

ROFL 😆
PS even Vaia laughs at the last paragraph of your post :lol:and yes,she did see the baboon butt picture in the past! 😆
😆 Well please tell Vaia that I am going to try to get rid of the baboon butt next month. BTW did I tell you we are having another family reunion May 2-5? Oh I think I did. But I'm excited.
Poor whale.Hope you're doing good, Edward. Thinkin' about ya'.:heart:
@ Darko. Well I think the ones I'm currently wearing might be worse than the ones found in the stomach of a whale. :p
@ Star. Missed you too. Figured you had some serious stuff on the plate so didn't PM you. Just finished watching Ivanhoe (1952) on TCM. "Rebecca of Sheffield, we find you guilty of being way too sexy for any of us to bear and sentence you to burn at the stake."Okay, that wasn't an actual line from the movie. :p
"I think I'll skip getting a pair from the stomach of a whale. Or from K-Mart."They are of the same quality? 😮

Wow, it's synchronicity!Oh yeah, a classic of that genre. I hadn't seen it in years, since the 90s I think. Am now watching the King Arthur one with Ava Gardner.

That's sad about the whale. If it wasn't the garbage, I wonder what actually caused it's death? I read about the garbage vortex thing. They are everywhere. Kinda scary really. As to sweat pants, would you believe I've had a pair of my ex's for almost a year. I was supposed to sew new elastic into the waistband but my sewing machine jammed up. I was also supposed to add two inches to the length of the legs. Even though my ex has gotten three inches shorter over the years, somehow these ancient sweat pants got shorter too. With the money he has, I cannot figure out why he just doesn't buy new ones.
He's a miser? haha. It is a shame how much garbage and pollution are being dumped in our oceans. It's going to bite everyone in the butt one day soon.
