Fascinating bit about whales
"When a whale dies in shallow water, its carcass is typically devoured by scavengers over a relatively short period of time. However, in deeper water, fewer scavenger species exist, and the carcass can provide sustenance for a complex localized ecosystem over periods of decades."

I manage iPhone, Android developers. Read more about me.
I self-published a book about MetaFilter called Life-Altering Experiences (available on Kindle or in hardcover). Speaking of MetaFilter, I created a list of the most frequently cited books on Human Relations from Ask.MetaFilter. Another popular project of mine is 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America. (More projects).
