Man, that's gotta suck!

So, you're a whale. You're born, you're swimming around, and you manage to survive a bomb harpoon somehow. So you live a while more, you swim around, you mate, and then you're finally killed by another harpoon, around ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY YEARS LATER.

A 50-ton bowhead whale caught off the Alaskan coast last month had a weapon fragment embedded in its neck that showed it survived a similar hunt — more than a century ago.

Embedded deep under its blubber was a 3½-inch arrow-shaped projectile that has given researchers insight into the whale's age, estimated between 115 and 130 years old.

Well, here's to long life and happiness, eh?
