The great blue whale bones that hung from the ceiling was found beached in the maritimes, transported to Maple, and buried behind my dad's OFRI lab in an attempt to decompose the flesh and extract the bones (eventual success!). Our family dog dug it up, chewed it, rolled in it, contracted worms from it, and died. My family will forever be attached to this structure.
- not_your_mentat 2y agoUpdate: I shared this link with my family and my story is being latently corrected. The whale was a fin wale. There are other corrections as well, but they diminish the tale. I prefer my childhood understanding to my corrected adult understanding. I'll leave you with the better story.
