Legends

In one story a fisherman tries to catch it with his harpoon but the harpoon sailed right through it and the Bake-kujira floated away. In other stories people say that the Bake-kujira brings a curse and general misfortune to the area where it is spotted.

gollark: 2Fe2O3 is 2 moles Fe2O3, 11O2 is 11 moles O2.
gollark: The important part is how many O2s per Fe2O3 you need.
gollark: It probably did just mean 3 moles of Fe2O3, not 3 times 2 times Fe2O3.
gollark: <@288035900980461579> Did the question just ask for 3 moles of Fe2O3, or 3 of "2Fe2O3" somehow?
gollark: Yes, so 3 of that would be 6 moles Fe2O3.
