Got a Manatee to Move? Don't Use Penske!
Dennis the manatee, our massive mermaidy friend, was loaded on to a Penske moving truck today to return to his native Florida. Penske was picked over an emergency flight because it would have taken too long to coordinate a manatee-compatible aircraft. No word on if or how the moving truck was souped up to accommodate Dennis, or whether there's an extra charge for sea creature transport. The manatee's temperature was low as a result of having wandered into our frigid waters, but his breathing was normal. Here's hoping Dennis gets happy and healthy at Sea World.

I was going to say flying spaghetti monster-speed to you, oh manatee, on your trip to Sea World. But now I wish you FSM-speed on your trip to that great, deadzone-free ocean in the sky.

Ever open up a truck like that on a sunny warm day? it's about 150 degrees in there. That manatee got nice and warm... too warm
Imagine being the next smuck that rents that truck.
Blap!!!!!!!!!!
