The Prídrangaviti Lighthouse, the most isolated lighthouse in the world, perched precariously on a rock pillar in the Westman Islands of Iceland.

Shouldn't they remove that chunk of rock behind it?

What are the odds?
I had a JW come door knocking yesterday (again). I think this might serve to show that the nearly impossible can occur.

The Original “Hold my beer" story.

On September 30th 1956, during a drunken argument in a New York City Bar, a man named Thomas Fitzpatrick claimed he could fly an airplane from New Jersey to New York in under 15 minutes. To prove himself, Fitzpatrick left the bar, stole an airplane from a New Jersey airfield at 3am, flew without lights or radio completely intoxicated, and landed the airplane in the street in front of the bar. The owner of the plane was so impressed that he refused to press charges, though Fitzpatrick was fined $1000 for his stunt. Two years later, Fitzpatrick got into another drunken argument in which another bar patron refused to believe his wild story, so he did it again, this time ending up in prison for 6 months.

I don't know how they age whales,

It's a Greenland shark and they age them when they're dead , so I imagine they're taking a guess at any living one, perhaps by it's size.
