There's a somber mood today here at Fleshbot East as we just learned about the tragic death of an American legend—Ayveq, the masturbating walrus. Dead at age 14 of a bacterial infection, he loved his devoted fans (and himself) for many years at—where else?—the Coney Island Aquarium. Please have a moment of silence before petting your own walrus later tonight. (brooklynpaper.com)
