I just read the most beautiful article on the apparent change in human-whale relations–the whales seem to be courting us.

If whales are reaching out to humans, they might want to rethink their strategy of getting caught in nets that will eventually kill them just to see if we try to rescue them.
I recommend they try Twitter instead.

If you’d read it, you’d realize they’re not only on Twitter, but also on Goodreads.

I dunno, but I have started to think I should be researching whales and not Patricks. Patricks are far more boring and less cute.
