The second example is a sentence fragment, that's why it seems off to you. It can be fashioned into a complete thought as demonstrated in this thread, but that's a very low hurdle to leap in English.

Tried to come up with a clever way to weave a reference to the Peter Davison Doctor Who story "Kinda" into all this.

Failed. :(

Why, bacteria, would you press upon a whale?

At some point somebody has to remind you that you suck. Might as well be me.

We can compare any of the following;

Dick
Money
Family
Education
Future


I await your useless response.

I already have something from 1939 that says Leningrad on my wall, along with an Intourist ad for a place visited in one of my favorite Soviet novels.

i don't know much about this stuff but i'd guess at least some parts of whales are probably pretty decent hangout spots for at least some kinds of bacteria?
