"Hardly news. Whales get stuck on the front of ships all the time.
Often they slow smaller ships down and the ship is obliged to stop at wich
point the whale often limps out of the way."

That's interesting. Being a land locked landlubber from Calgary, I wasn't aware of that. I thought the newsworthy part was the fact a cruise ship arrived in port with one stuck to it's bow. I also thought it a bit strange that they didn't notice anything wrong. Probably happened at night but you would think they would of noticed higher then usual fuel consumption. Of course they may have but where at a loss to explain why.
