Last Thursday, boaters and locals helped rescue a stranded orca whale on Prince of Wales Island in Alaska. Boaters found the 20-foot-long mammal stuck in a 4-foot-long rock crevice on the rocky shore. The boaters first alerted the U.S. coastguard before taking any action. Images making rounds on social media show good samaritans with buckets pouring water over the whale to prevent dehydration.

A data team from a company called Clever Real Estate tallied up Yelp ratings and the average price for a large cheese pizza, along with the number of pizza restaurants in 50 cities nationwide to create the list. Plenty of people were thoroughly bewildered — and certainly angry — since Denver doesn’t even have a signature pizza style, let alone a storied pizza tradition.
