Designed by Jonathan Adler, this ceramic butter dish is nice, but it’s not $62.50 nice. Sorry. Not worth the money. I would rather carve my butter stick into a whale.
Beached Whale

Casey sent over this animation of a beached whale talking to a seagull. I don’t quite understand why it has 3 million+ views, but I think the fact that it does have that many views makes it that much more funny.
First Encounter by Brian Skerry

How amazing is this photo of Brian Skerry’s underwater assistant, Mauricio Handler, in front of a giant whale off the coast of Auckland Islands? I can’t even imagine how awesome this must feel to be within arm’s reach of a giant underwater creature such as a whale and not have it be scared away by the camera.
Anyway, this photo above was the winner of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year contest in the category of “The Underwater World”.
Brian Skerry is a National Geographic photographer who has an impressive portfolio of images very similar to this, which really show his ability to get up close and personal with these sea animals that most of us have hardly seen in person even once. According to The Boston Globe, Brian Skerry is living his childhood dream of photographing for National Geographic. Heck, if this was my job, I’d be happy too!
Beluga whales blowing bubble rings and doing tricks

In this video from Japan, a diver/trainer blows some air into the mouth of one beluga whale and watches as the same whale blows ring bubbles out of its mouth! Keep watching the video if you also want to see the whales dribbling a ball with their mouth underwater and doing somersaults. [via]
