The Rungrado May Day Stadium in Pyongyang, North Korea, is the largest active sports stadium in the world, seating 150,000 people! When a whale dies and sinks to the ocean floor, it can take scavengers as long as 2 years to pick the flash from its bones! After that, a habitat can continue to exist amongst the remains for decades. I would walk 500 miles, and I would walk 500 more Liu Peiwen walked 1000 miles from Henan, China, to his girlfriend's home in Guagdong to propose to her- filling the lyrics of their favorite song, I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) by Scottish man The Proclaimers!

Quit spouting NPR B.S.! Learn what you’re talking about. Quote from the International Whaling Commission: “In fact only two species of large whales can be considered in danger of extinction, the North Pacific right whale and the North Atlantic right whale, both of which were severely depleted by pre-20th century whaling.”Pre-20th century means 1800’s.

There’s a joke I heard once. A young man was telling his girlfriend how much she meant to him. He said: “I’d walk hundreds of miles for you. I’ll swim the deepest sea for you. I’ll cross the hottest desert for you.” Then five minutes later he uttered: “I’ll pick you up tonight at eight if it doesn’t rain.”
