WTF is sperm oil...?

Yes, I was strangely drawn to that :oops: :facepalm: .

Wiki Quote, "Sperm oil is a waxy liquid obtained from sperm whales. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, sperm oil was prized as an illuminant for its bright, odorless flame and as a lubricant for its low viscosity and stability."

Note to self: must remember to pack my revolver next time I'm cycling through the brigand-infested, less civilized areas of Europe - like Streatham High Street and Tower Hamlets. Possibly Westminster and Whitehall too. ;)
