On exploding whales

Exploding whales are a theme written about by several authors; their unusual, absurd, and highly improbable nature makes them an interesting topic to write about.

On Warrick Capper

...in 2002, Capper appeared on a celebrity special of The Weakest Link. In reply to the question: What vowel do you drop from the word 'huge' to make a three-letter word meaning an affectionate embrace?, he answered 'humungous' (the correct answer was 'hug') and was eliminated, moonwalking his way down the walk of shame.
