Dead ringers

I know there is something wrong with my head, but 2 news articles this week have stuck themselves together in my subconscious for their startling similarity against all odds. No. 1: The poor old whale that died in the Thames after getting lost (or perhaps she was trying to speak to Tony Blair as she was spotted near Parliament). No. 2: The death of Chris Penn, funnyman actor most famous for Reservoir Dogs. They have absolutely nothing in common, except that inquests into their deaths were "inconclusive". And I suppose that reports say that Chris Penn was 21 stone when they found him. Who would have thought that he would be linked to a dead whale when he died? Not me. But maybe I'm just a sick bunny...
