-\begin{multicols}{2}
-
-\noindent
-You can call me Ishmail, because I'm gonna tell you about whales.
-
-In Europe's 19th century, the whole world depended on one resource.
-Men would travel to the other side of the world, then find and kill a Biblical monster.
-
-\subsubsection{Some Whale Basics}
-
-Whales are broadly divided into two kinds: toothed whales and baleen whales.
-Toothed whales have teeth, baleen whales have a flexible filter-feeding system, also named baleen.
-Baleen is derived from Latin \textit{balaena}, related to Greek \textit{phalaina}, all of which mean `whale', making `baleen whale' -- `whale whale'.
-
-A notable whale species is sperm whale (like \textit{Moby Dick}, or Pearl from \textit{Sponge Bob}).
-Inside its square head, there's a highly sought after liquid called spermaceti.
-`Sperm whale' is actually short for `spermaceti whale'.
-`Spermaceti' means `whale sperm'.
-So `spermaceti whale' means `whale sperm whale'.
-`Spermaceti' is a thick, waxy substance that is speculated to aid with bouyancy, however it cannot be confirmed because sperm whales hate us now.
-But it definitely isn't sperm.
-
-\subsubsection{Whalers}
-
-Killing a whale is not a fun day.
-Everyone who does it has to do it.
-Bastards and other surplus -- men who have no apprenticeship, or inheritance -- have one clear path to make their living.
-They board a whaling boat, and sail.
-
-Once they have a whale in sight, they propel harpoons using gunpowder weapons, or their arms.
-The side of their boat swivels out to provide a netted `shelf' to process the whale.
-
-Once a whale is caught, the whalers must work fast and harvest as much as they can before the whale dies, and rot begins.
-Some must walk on top of it, and hope to balance well enough to not fall into the icy-cold waters.
-The whalers peel its skin like an orange, then extract and boil the blubber into whale oil.
-
-Some whalers collect toothed whales' teeth and carve them to pass the time (it's either that or homoeroticism).
-
-\subsubsection{Bountiful Corpses}
-
-Whale meat gets harvested for food.
-Bones are sometimes ground into fertilizer.
-Sperm whales get scalped and have spermaceti extracted from the junk
-(`junk' is the actual name of the part of their heads that houses the liquid).
-Spermaceti is brought to land, where it's chilled over Winter, and later squeezed into sperm oil.
-Solid leftovers were bleached and sold as spermaceti wax.
-
-Baleen is also called `whalebone', despite being closer to nails or hair than bone in structure.
-Baleen is harvested from the whale's mouth, and used wherever a thin flexible material can be used.
-Most famously, it was used for clothes' construction -- corsets, stays, bustles, crinolines, et c.
-
-Ambergris is fossilized bowel secretions of sperm whales.
-It's speculated to be a reaction to bowel irritations.
