Just read this story yesterday. I never stopped to consider the role of whale pee in the oceans' ecosystem. Apparently it's more crucial than I thought. I know that my own pee is nowhere near so important.

A whale gallstone or whale shit, (Ambergris) is worth a lot of $$$$$$. This is fascinating:

"When a whale initially expels ambergris, it is soft and has a terrible smell. Some marine biologists compare it to dried cow dung. But after floating on the salty ocean for about a decade, the substance hardens and becomes smooth, waxy and usually rounded. The dung smell is gone, replaced by a scent that has been famous for hundreds of years, probably more. The longer it floats, the better the scent."


"The smell is so fine that ambergris is a coveted ingredient for fine perfumes. In fact, it's described as being smooth, musky, earthy, sweet or simply "indescribable." Aside from its unique odor, ambergris' vital function is helping perfume scent to bind to the surface of the skin and stick around, instead of quickly evaporating."

Why Is Ambergris (Whale Poop) So Valuable?

If you're wandering on the beach and happen upon a large mass of some sort of waxy substance, take a closer look. It could be the rare "floating gold" of the sea: ambergris. Find out whether this whale poop can help you retire rich.

My pee is worth more than your pee. How's that for starting a pissing contest?

The downside is whales eat phytoplankton, which in turn sink carbon pollution ... without whales, the phytoplankton can easily keep up with human CO2 output ... it wasn't until the whale hunting ban went into effect that global temperatures started skyrocketing ... now they're thick out there, stripping us of our last chance at survival ... murdering us with our own ignorance ...

Nuke the Whales .... before they kill us all ...

Our pee is very valuable, for medical diagnostic purposes.
