Moby Dick!
This story of a whale bearing some 19th-century weaponry is so fascinating that it almost makes me overlook my aversion to whaling of all kinds. Amazing to think about what that whale has seen in its century-long life (estimates put its birth during Rutherford B. Hayes's presidency--Reconstruction). Sadly, though, I don't think many of the world's changes would seem very positive from a whale's point of view. I guess he's lucky that 19th-century projectiles were relatively ineffective....Labels: whale of a tale
