No, Queequeg! Don't do it!

Oxford University Press blog (yes they have a blog) has something special for Lisa B.:
"On November 14th, 1851 Herman Melville published Moby Dick, the classic tale of Captain Ahab's whale hunt." (OUPblog: This Day in History: Moby Dick is Published)

  2. All hate the white whale. The evil white whale with his dead-blue eye.
