Thanks, Jess!

The "Comments" section for this video is worth looking into, if only for this glib little nugget:

    IT
    DOES NT MATTER WHAT ANY ONE SAYS ABOUT THIS , ITS HOW IT MAKES US FEEL
    AS PEOPLE AND INDIVIDUALS, SOME TIMES WE SEPPERATE FROM WHATEVER IT
    MIGHT BE, BUT WE ALWAYS RETURN TO WHATS RIGHT.

I feel you, bro.

Drunk man rides horse into bank, falls asleep. Investigative journalism at its best:

[…]bank staff were less than impressed when they arrived and had to clean
up after the horse, who had left a deposit of his own on the foyer floor.

Whale in the Gowanus Canal

Filed under: BEASTS, NEW YORK, UNDERSEA WORLD — Alec @ 1028AM

Whale in the Gowanus 

According to the New York Times, a young whale somehow wandered into the Gowanus Canal here in Brooklyn:

The animal, described as a juvenile minke whale about 15 feet long, was
cruising around Gowanus Bay, the outlet from the mile-long Gowanus
Canal in Brooklyn. It appeared to be in good health and not distressed,
said Kim Durham, rescue program director for the Riverhead Foundation
for Marine Research and Preservation.

 Apparently the whale is OK, despite all of the pollution in the canal. And it’s really, really polluted, so polluted that the Whole Foods supermarket planned for the area (still!) can’t be built until an extensive cleanup occurs. Gowanus Lounge has more on the whale, as well as links to some video footage.

 Aah, beautiful Gowanus.
