These rolls of toilet paper contain the complete
text of Moby Dick.
Herman Melville’s whale-hunting epic has
been carefully transcribed onto toilet paper
by Dennis Malone of Palm Springs, Florida.
Written in 1851, the now world-famous novel
didn’t experience widespread success until
after the author’s death.
With over 200,000 words, it took six rolls
to contain the entire text.
It contains the original dialect and even
reference notes.
The letters were hand-typed on clean rolls
of 2-ply tissue, allowing people to relive
the tale of Ahab’s revenge one sheet at
a time.
Believe it or not, some whales living today
are over 200 years old, meaning they were
around before Melville’s book even existed.
