Continuing his discourse on property law and dead whales, Ishmael tells us about abandoned rotting whale carcasses which have died, apparently, of natural causes. Some are valuable. Some are not.

Mr Stubb cons a French whaler out of a valuable, albeit extremely stinky, rotting whale carcass. It's just chock-full of ambergris*. Ambergris is, apparently, the 'sperm' in 'sperm whale.'

Then there's this whole chapter where Ishamel describes the...oh God...the delights of 'squeezing sperm.' He really likes squeezing sperm. He likes the smell. He's in his happy place.


*Oh, look it up yourself.

"They weren't making shows that parents could watch with their kids. They were making shows that kids could watch alone, while severely addled by Cap'n Crunch.

The New York Times writes about the Sid and Marty Krofft oeuvre. (Registration required.)
