Excuse me for not posting recently, I became somewhat addicted to day trading and a subsequent system failure during a high power "selling window" caused me to swear off the computer for good-- I mean, I'm under the SEA, do I really need to ebay Centurions toys?
Unfortunately the answer is "yes", so here I am once again.
You may be wondering how one orders toys over the "net" with no permanent address (the TIDES are my address, migratory fish my house number). It's quite simple now that the government has de-privatized "air drops" (Previously the military had a monopoly, and it was difficult, time consuming, and EXPENSIVE to get clearance for a "drop"). Many commercial airlines now offer the service, with Lufthansa in the lead in terms of coverage (though it's cheapest to use a regional service-- but I wouldn't trust most them with any sort of
scientific instruments).
Anyway, as you might have guessed, it's been a slow few days. "Well hey Randy, that's just Dandy (mine), but why blog about it?" Why? Well because something INCREDIBLE has been going on.
Incredible? You read correctly.
I am currently blogging from INSIDE the stomach of an enormous sperm whale. I'm pretty sure this is a first (I would have seen it on Digg.com). Remember when I said it has been a "slow" few days? Well I was speaking LITERALLY (not really), it takes a WEEK for a sperm whale to fully digest/expel its food. Unfortunately (for the whale) my haustibule wont dissolve, so in another few days I'll perform another "first" (You'll probably see it on FARK). I wish there was some way to save this glorious mammal, but at the moment I can't come up with anything (And to be honest, I'd rather let the anus expand past its limits for the scientific data alone-- an experiment otherwise forbidden by groups such as PETA)
I'll see if I can post an audio recording of the event, though I may have to what until my formal paper is published. Regardless, it's sure to be a thrilling journey. Truly unforgettable. I can hardly contain myself, but I hope the whale has less self control-- Randy
