Seaman discovers dead sperm whale

heh heh heh, seamen

From the English translation of the Yomiuri:

NAGOYA–A dead sperm whale was found floating in Nagoya Port by a seaman Sunday morning, police said.

The 24-year-old seaman, who was working at the port, found the whale carcass floating about 150 meters north of the port at about 8:20 a.m.

It is not the same sperm whale mentioned a few days ago on Japan Probe. That whale is still alive and was still hanging around in the shallow waters of Wakayama Prefecture as of this morning.

Yeah, it got me. I was starting to think it was a sperm “Whale” as in a high roller at the sperm bank.

Yes indeed. That was the very first thing I thought of when I saw this, but I blushed to make that comment. Glad you beat me to it.

How many semen does it take to put a sperm whale out?

Did they use this whale for meat? I hope so, or it might not be fresh enough.

Thats a huge load of sperm whale for the seamen to deliver. Hopefully it won’t be too hard for them to handle. At least since it was already dead and limp, they didn’t have to shoot it. With that much sperm whale, they’ll need their rubber boots on so that they don’t get all gooey.

With all the sperm whales dying, it’s no wonder there’s a declining birthrate.
