It’s like “Moby Dick” in real life. A rare white humpback whale has been sighted off the coast of Norway. [..]

The short video above shows the white whale in the company of its pigmented peers. The whale surfaces, blows a spout and then dives under the water again.

The whale is thought to have leucism, a genetic condition that reduces all skin pigments in animals. This is distinct from albinism, which affects levels of the pigment melanin.

Sometimes my reasoning is not very obvious and I feel compelled to explain my little amusements.

I’ve lost track of what I have and have not brought to your attention AND, YouTube being what it is, many of the embeds have changed so what I’m going to do about this situation is take a look at the back catalog, make sure it gets tagged and filed properly, and see if I can’t find an active replacement should it be necessary.

Some stuff I’m afraid has vanished into the ether, others are available only in an unacceptable quality.  Those that work or I can make work again I’ll share with you as I go along.  Once I have that done it will be much easier for me to find and identify new material.  I know there’s a ton of high quality Porky Pig in black and white that I’ve overlooked.

As always it would be interesting to hear from you what your favorites are.  If they are sufficiently available, numerous and short (less than 15 minutes per episode) I’ll be happy to feature a collection.

I’m starting today with the first entry, from April 4, 2011–

This is my favorite Bugs Bunny ever.  I wonder if you can figure out why?
