This is an interesting take on the concept. I never thought of it that way. I came across this site recently which I think will be of great use http://www.whales.org.za . Check it out!
Big thanks for keeping me entertained.

#19 Incredible…no evidence whatsoever the ship and whale collided…none…but Federal Officials have “no doubt” they had an encounter…

Econuts are destroying our economy…the public might wake up when gas is $25 a gallon…but then again, they elected Obama.

The headline was total Crap. We have no way to know how this thing died based on what was reported! It may have been dead when it was hit or not. Most whales are alert enough not to let anything large near them because killer whales do eat them. The ones that aren’t may not be all that healthy.

#16, Lyin’ Mike,

While I don’t doubt oil seepage happens, you have still not given any links as asked by ArianeB in #7.

#10, Ah Yea,

It appears from your link that most oil / petroleum entering the seas are man made.

#12, Hugh Ripper, according to the bumper sticker, it’s

“Nuke A Gay Whale For Christ”

so the answer is “maybe.”

#6, natural as in
SEEPING up from the ocean fLOOr.

Drilling actually reduces this amount of natural oil spill by relieving pressure.

#11 You seriously believe that only smart people use google? Google’s search has become so utterly useless recently and most of its results just dump you sites trying to sell you crap, I rarely use it any more.
Bing actually seems to give me the results I want, and yahoo? Whats that.

#9 – it was a test of the intelligence of the average DU reader. Smart ones would do a Google search to discover the content. Users of average intelligence might go to Bing or Yahoo. You, uhmm, fall into a third group. But here’s a link to an article for you.

It happens a lot. I saw a coastal bulk carrier entering our harbor with a dead Minke whale wedged under the bow.
