Fail Whale
Boy did I ever laugh today when I spotted this front page story in the papers. “Whale lands on yacht“, complete with a picture of an epic fail whale.
Don’t get me wrong, it sucks for the whale (at least it swam off without much more than a bruise or two)… but ever since seeing something very similar on FailBlog.org a few years back, the idea of a whale breaching onto a boat has been on the amusing side. Maybe it’s the reminder that nature really doesn’t give a shit about us and our silly human activities like yachting, or maybe it’s wondering what must go through a whale’s mind when it realises that it has a) emerged right next to a friggin boat and b) it is about to crash onto it and there is fokkol it can do.
I don’t know, maybe it’s just me but this was one of the most entertaining headlines since Paul the Psychic Calamari. The hot guys behind me in the queue at Woolies were also laffing at least. Sea animals, ftw!
