Take the Jeopardy test and possibly get a chance to make some money.
Its because during whaling when they were regularly butchering whales, they discovered a liquid inside the head that looked like sperm so that's what they called the whales. I used to work at an aquarium and a kid asked me that once, I quickly thought uh, ok, let's go with the truth and told her that and then internally pleaded, "don't ask me what sperm is, don't ask me what sperm is..." and she just said "ok!" And went on her way ?
