I would have assumed it was modeled after a real whale which actually died.
Apparently it’s basically the Onion’s version of BuzzFeed
I grew up going to the Natural History Museum in NYC and it’s a huge part of the reason I went into biology. The blue whale is amazing to see and experience. I had a mini panic attack thinking they were taking it down, but couldn’t confirm it on other sites.
I’m very relieved to find that it was just an Onion article.
So they’re just going to leave the dead rotting corpse hanging from the ceiling? How is that better?
What better way to introduce the kiddies to the concepts of death and decay?
