It was the worst of times, it was the worser of times (1970) when 8 tons of suicidal sperm whale landed on a beach in Oregon. Of course I don’t know for sure that the whale was suicidal, but why else would a whale go to the beach? Maybe he was avoiding a marriage proposal or he got tired of drinking water. In any case he died and left a massive sack of disgusting sperm whale carcass rotting on the beach…
