Title: Whale 'vomit' sparks cash bonanza
Post by: Foxy Brown on January 24, 2006, 08:39:21 PM

An Australian couple who picked up an odd-looking fatty lump from a quiet beach are in line for a cash windfall.

Leon Wright and his wife took home a 14.75kg lump of ambergris, found in the innards of sperm whales and used in perfumes after it has been vomited up.  (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4642722.stm)

I didn't know that ambergris is vomited. Nice.

No, "Three Hundred Big Boys" where Mushu the whale eats the watch Kif bought Amy, so they make it barf by feeding it rotten fish. Then Roseanne showed up to teach Kif about ambergris  :lol:
