What one whale ate

Author - CEO


This is almost directly taken from the Guardian newspaper, but I thought it was worth recounting here.

When a 13ft gray whale was found dead on a beach near Seattle (Washington State), the following was found amongst the 190 litres of algae in its stomach;

Two lengths of duct tape

A metre of electrical tape

five
lengths of fabric

One sock

One sweatpant leg

Fishing
line

One golf ball

39cm green rope

1m of nylon rope

Red
plastic cylinder

One Capri-Sun juice packet

Two grocery
bags

30 pieces of plastic bags

one sandwich bag

one
ziplock bag

one rubber band

some rubbery string

one
surgical glove, and,

a partridge in a pear tree. Okay I made the
last one up

    I think that golf ball was mine.

    How do I go about getting it back?
