Okay, so maybe it was really a vacuuming that the American Museum of Natural History Museum's Blue Whale received. But now you know that's how the 90-foot fiberglass model, which hangs in the Hall of Ocean Life, is cleaned: An industrial sized vacuum, a scaffold, and the attention of Rodolfo Valencia. Valencia gave the whale its last cleaning two years ago—a lot of dust has piled up since then! The AMNH told the Post, "It's his baby. He's very gentle with it. He's got this all mapped out. He probably knows every inch of that whale."

Two days!
Ron Burgundy would say its got a very dirty San Diego.
Cleaning the planetarium sphere at the other end of the Museum is even better--it's a robotic vacuum that moves on a grid of rails in the ceiling and descends down to the top of the sphere.
Now save the whale campaign is a hole different thing. They don't poop on our parks, play grounds and gold courses like some other animals out there.

Truly newsworthy.
Isn't most dust human skin that's been shed? If so, ewww.
...vacuuming the whale?...isn't that a euphemism for masturbation?
I thought that was waxing the whale.
