THE FAT WHALE GROUNDED HIMSELF!!! WTF?
"According to the Pine County Sheriff's Office, a group had gone tubing on the river when the tube of a man weighing at least 500 pounds went flat about two miles south of Fox Landing.
"After attempted to get out of the water and walk back, the man began having chest pains..."
"...Just after 8 a.m., about 12 hours after the man was first reported stuck, crews were able to get the man to a part of the river where he was allowed to float to safety, according to Burnett County officials."
