In an appearance on Chelsea Lately Tuesday night, reality TV star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi attempted yet again to convince the world that the reason the ocean is salty is because "it's all whale sperm."
She made the same claim several months ago in an episode of Jersey Shore.
It's totally false, of course, but that didn't stop her from swearing it's true.
The subject came up after host Chelsea Handler began reading off questions from the new Jersey Shore trivia game.
Partial transcript:
Handler: Why is the ocean salty according to you?
Snooki: Because it's all whale sperm. It's true. It's true. If you Google it, it's all whale sperm. I swear.
Handler: Is that true? Have you Googled that?
Snooki: Yeah, and it said because of the whale sperm, and I guess it ejaculates like two thousand million sperms. Wait, that didn't make sense. But you know what I mean.
Handler: You're saying each whale ejaculates a significant amount of sperm, and that is filling up the entire ocean. When they're having sex with other whales, the sperm should be going into the other whale!
Snooki: Well, some leaks out, I guess.

The best part of the article has got to be David’s line under the transcript, “There’s more if you can stand it:”
LOL!!!
I can’t… I couldn’t bring myself to click on those links. Sorry David! XD
We were hoping the hurricane would just wash her out to sea, but no such luck.
I was really hoping Snookie was just an urban legend.
That’s hilarious. I’ll be giggling at that one for a while XD
I thing we should get Snooki out of the gene pool as soon as possible
Snookie’s no urban legend. I know she’s real… I saw her on South Park once!
