Some joyful news from the Shedd Aquarium where two beluga whales, 23-year-old Puiji and 20-year-old Naya, are each pregnant with baby belugas. Fellow beluga whale Naluark made like Shawn Kemp and is responsible for both pregnancies. It's only a matter of time before Kirk and Spock swipe all three for the benefit of mankind's future.
