    The Blue Whale ejaculates over 40 gallons of Sperm when Mating. Only 10% enters the female, and you always wondered why the sea tasted salty?

    0:23 Some onlookers thought.. 0:41 researchers suspect... 01:15 something .. must be happening...01:28 But no-one knows why...Nor can anyone pinpoint why..01:36 To solve the mystery... An Expensive Measuring Machine! All this can do is measure! Yes measure - then someone "really cleverer than us" will come up with some dark salt, black lagoon or something, oh nasa, please don't patronise us

    Shut the fuck up bitch. Maybe that's why people catch you and your dad drinking out of the ocean everyday.

    its very important..less salt means the ocean currents will either slow down or stop..resulting in another iceage..

    i solved another nasa "mystery" here -- "why did more seawater evaporate?" ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm more heat from the sun? funny how nasa gives 99% factual info, and then likes to call everything that is obviously the sun getting hotter a "mystery". they cant say the sun is getting hotter and freaking out/acting oddly, bc it would expose a greater truth.
