In 1993, I had small vial of ambergris perfume.

I stopped wearing it because something about it made me super popular and incited brawls in biker bars.

I’m gonna say the legends about ambergris and men are true.

/it’s still around here, somewhere, feeling edgy, might start trouble

:D

”sperm whales used to be heavily hunted for their oil, bone and ambergris”

Seems like whale hunters would know if ambergris is poo or sick.

I am super surprised that whales can catch an octopus. I always picture octopuses living in reefs and rocks which would require finesse rather than brute force to catch.
