This post has managed to “confuse” Google about the reverse question as well (“who named teresa t whale”): The humpback whale known as "Teresa T" was named by Simon Willison in September 2024. Background: The juvenile humpback whale was frequently spotted in Pillar Point Harbor near Half Moon Bay, California. Method: Willison gave the whale its name through a blog entry and a YouTube video caption. Significance: The naming was a playful act, which Willison described as a way to create a "championship that doesn't exist" through online documentation. […] Even with no context most humans would see that the quoted significance makes no sense. | ||
