Ever Wondered How Big A Blue Whale Is?

Chances are, this will the closest you'll ever be to one.

Unless you're a marine biologist and/or a crew of that environmental show where they chase a bunch of Japanese boats, pelting their crew with formaldehydes or something.  Whale Wars I think it's called - actually an interesting show - especially the pelting part.  But seriously, who ever started this [insert a random word] Wars themed shows? I mean, come on, Storage Wars?

What's funny is how serious they take the "war" part.  "This here matey is one of a kind.  If we can't pull it off, (insert dramatic shake of the head here) everyone will be in grave danger.  Everyone.  Our lives, (deep breath) all lead to this one here.  We need to do this before .. (insert sound of impending doom background music) OMG! He's got the bid! NOOOO!!!!  We're done for Joe.. WE'RE DONE FOR!!!"

That just sends shivers down my spine.  Now where was I?  Oh yeah, the whale.

I personally thought the eye would be a lot bigger.
