It might be looking for a prophet and got the address wrong.

I'm so glad its turned, it got to Battersea Bridge, not far from out home. Folks were worrying if it was seeking to beach to die, but if it has turned with the tide, thats great news. This breed of whale is usualy seen only in north atlantic of Atartic, closes we have seen some in northern north sea, so you folks can imagine the amazment we have here. Everyone is hopeing the whale is well, and will find its way out to sea again.

There's a whale in the Thames, Dear Liza, Dear Liza,
There's a whale in the Thames, Dear Liza, a Whale!!


(that's the first thing I thought of when I saw the name on your post -- now, what does that say about me????)


(In case you don't know -- there's a little kids song --

There's a hole in the bucket, Dear Liza, Dear Liza...)

since you said it was near your house, did your family go down to the river to see it? Tho' it's sad he got lost, think I'd probably go see him, anyway. Of course, that might be because when I did go on a whale watch out in California with a group from church, we saw no whales that day, so were given a "whale check." (like a "rain check") Somehow, we never got back there to use that whale check. Oh, "whaaale" (well) .... ;)

Whale is still there about a mile from our home. No we havent gone to see the poor thing, its becomming like a circus down there. That whale needs folks to back off, so it can get itself together, then in might start swimming in the right direction, we hope it does, they are such wonderfull creatures.

This could indeed pose one whale of a problem!

I'd love to go whale-watching someday. The shows on television and movies make them look so majestic. I hope this creature made it back home.

Me too. I keep telling Carl that a good holiday for us would be to go to Newfoundland. He loves moose (and he would see many moose there) and we could go on a whale watch for me.

I just heard the whale died. That makes me sad.

OH noooo ;(
Last i knew, I have been working, was it was fairly healthy, and they hoped to let it go in the Atlantic. If it died, we all must weep, it was a magestic creation of God. But at least, man sought to save his fellow creature, which gives us a ll hope.We persONALY ARE VERY SAD IF WHALE HAS DIED, we all hoped it would live.

What's really sad is that we fight to save the life of this one whale while the nation of Japan is still slaughtering hundreds of these great creatures each year, in the name of "scientific research". The meat from these research animals ends up being sold for human consumption.
