MALIBU, Calif. –  No government agency is taking action to remove the decaying carcass of a whale on a California beach, making it appear the job will be left to Mother Nature. The corpse of the huge fin whale created a spectacle on Friday as people wandered down the narrow Malibu beach to look at the remains -- white bones, rolls of blubber and the tail flukes trailing along the water's edge. The homes of movie stars, celebrities and others line the cliffs high above the slender beach. Looking over the whale, Malibu resident Ben Dossett suggested there was now no need to try to remove it. "You look at the difference between what it was on Tuesday to what it is today. I think they can just leave it and let nature take its course," he said.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
