MT: that cocaine story was about a city in Italy, after testing the river water sometime this summer (i think?), although i don't remember which city.

Harbor seals have made it all the way up the length of Manhattan. I rowed crew for Columbia my Freshman year (03-04). When we arrived back at the dock one night, a harbor seal was waiting for us. The dock is on the Harlem river at the very tip of Manhattan, near the Hudson River. I can't imagine anything surviving at all in the Harlem. The seal seemed to agree as it was not eager to get back in the water.

As Londonist's political correspondent, I saw the whale from my workplace, the Houses of Parliament at about 12:30 Imagine my surprise, when, sitting in the office, it comes on the news that there is a bloody great whale in the Thames outside. I ran over to the Terrace (on the river), as did a load of other people, including John Prescott, and spotted the thing swimming around. It then buggered off up towards Chiswick. Interesting stuff people, the first Whale in the Thames on record since 1913!

Isn't the Thames the river they tested and found out that British people do, like, 5 pounds of cocaine a day, each? Maybe the whale is just looking for a fix?
