Frank Dammock of Chicago had a strange hobby. He compiled a complete deck of cards by picking them up from time to time in the street. After ten years, he was fifteen cards short. To complete his deck took another twenty years. Scientists declare that although the whale is the largest animal that ever lived, its throat is so small it'll choke on a herring. So the cachalot, or the sperm whale, may have been the great fish mentioned in the Bible as the one that swallowed Jonah. Proof of this is in the report of the French scientist M. de Parville in the "Journal des Débats" 1914. It's an account of James Bartley, an English sailor who was swallowed by a whale and later rescued. Believe It or Not!
