Who would have thought that the wandering albatross flew around the earth randomly with absolutely no plan? Apparently the person who named it.

Why haven't all the long line fishing boats sunk yet then? :(

I saw one of these on a Pelagic boat trip out of Albany. The bastard wouldn't come any closer than about a metre from the horizon, but it was doing laps around the boat.

They don't sink, they get lost...FOR-E-VER.
