The Whale and the Wiki
So, the whale came past my house about twenty minutes ago. What's truly surprising is that on finding that link, I read that the whale's eyes and blowhole were protected with KY Jelly - at which point Wikipedia provides a link to KY Jelly, because you never know who's going to want to look up KY Jelly on Wikipedia. Well, I clicked on it, so I guess I can't snark.
Even now, less than five hours after the whale was first hoist onto the barge, the Wikipedia KY Jelly page already contains a section headed "Other Uses" (other than as a sexual lubricant, that is - and did you know that while ingestion is not recommended, it has a mildly sweet flavour, apparently, for the express purpose of making oral sex possible when KY's involved?). The only thing they've got in Other Uses is the whale thing. So in the midst of all this brouhaha about the whale, someone noticed that KY was used to protect the eyes and blowhole and thought to himself, "Hmmm. I should probably update the KY Jelly page on Wikipedia right now." I love the internet.

Just in case! It might come up, you know.
True. You never know when you're gonna need to protect a whale's eyes and blowhole.
You're my first comment, by the way. /waves
