reason: Does This Remind You Of Anything must be done intentionally. Moby Dick being a "sperm" whale is Have A Gay Old Time(which is already listed)

Deleted line 21:

Added line 22:
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything (Moby-Dick and what kind of whale he is. Uh, yeah.)
reason: The title has an hyphen, the whale doesn't. Even Wikipedia knows this.

Changed lines 5 from:
Either way, the plot follows a man that, infatuated with the sea (apparently, it's a periodical thing), decides to go aboard a whaling ship to try out how whaling feels. He and his [[NobleSavage newly-met best friend Queequeg]] go upon the ''Pequod'' under the comand of the [[{{Determinator}} monomaniac Captain Ahab]], and eventually get in the middle of his maniac hunt for Moby-Dick, the titular "White Whale" that ate his leg. Tragedy ensues.

Changed lines 9 from:
Despite popular belief, Moby-Dick isn't an "albino" whale. He's got a white ''hump'' and ''forehead''. Taking that whales don't go to surface that much, that might be why it seems he's [[CharacterExaggeration totally white]]. But he isn't.
