  • A whale of a tale ....

    Did anyone else see the page on teletext the other day about an Alaskan company who were out whale catching (part of their quota ?) ... ?

    They caught a whale and when they sliced it open, they found part of a device which dates back to the American Civil War !!

    I never realised that Whales lived for so long ..... the piece went on to say that they could live for 100-200 years old ..... amazing !!
    I only thought crocs or tortoise lived that long
