FUN FACT FRIDAY... Thaaaarrr Sheee Blooowwsss!

If you are walking along the beach and come across a strange smelly, waxy, blob make sure that you grab it and bring it home. It is known as "Ambergris" and is produced in the Sperm Whale gastrointestinal tract. It is valued at $20 per gram and used in perfumes. A good sized chunk can be worth up to $1,000,000.
