A Whale Lives in Brooklyn

Apparently, some poor creature that has been nicknamed Sludgie the Whale (a riff on the delicious ice-cream Fudgie the Whale cake) got lost during the recent storm in New York and ended up swimming in circles around the Gowanus Canal, a polluted slick of water that skulks around a mere five blocks from my house. Poor little guy, I hope he finds his way back to cleaner waters.
