Whiskey Wednesday

Thar She Blows

A Northern bottlenose whale is currently taking a tour of London, swimming up the Thames past Parliament and Big Ben to the delight of onlookers. It's probably not such good news for the whale though. While whales and other marine mammals do sometimes wander up rivers only to eventually find their way back out to sea, such behavior often indicates they are sick, injured or very disoriented.
However, with about 80,000 lines of cocaine ending up in the Thames every day, the poor thing is probably coked to the gills - er, blowhole - and doesn't realise he's headed for Scotland. Insert Kate Moss joke here. [via]
