Great. In addition to corner-cutting rig workers, we now have to worry about reckless sperm whales swimming amongst the risers.
Yeah seriously! WTF!? Who is those sperm whales thinkin’ they is?? What? Ocean ain’t big enough for you? Gotta get your spermaceti all up in our risers? Hey, our drill equipment was there first, go find some squid to bother.
