Migaloo the Albino Humpback Whale

This clip from ITN news makes me think I have been saying "albino" wrong for decades. There's a nice tail flip at about :35.

I'm also thinking of changing my name to "Migaloo", which apparently means "white fella" in an aboriginal language.

Not politically correct, but it is a correct description.

Both of us are big white fellas.

LOL. Well among flowerhorn hobbyists, we don't have "albino flowerhorns". We call them "golden flowerhorns". Another politically incorrect term but some flowerhorns really do look golden.

She makes me think of the slogan for Beeno, "Take Beeno and there'll be no gas."

The whale is beautiful.

You've probably also been saying words such as 'garage', 'yogurt', and 'tomato' wrong also.

You should get a load of what they call an anesthesiologist!

Anyhow, I've found Al Beano! Watch This
