Because Delaware could use some [advice](http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/real-time/Massive-Humpback-Whale-washes-ashore-in-Delaware.html)

What? It’s one of the best videos of all time. 😃

Wish I could have heard that car owner, reporting to his insurance company that his car was crushed by a hunk of flying whale blubber.
