The Museum of Natural History's Whale is on Twitter. Discuss.

It's toplined an acclaimed independent movie and inspired generations of kids on field trips. But the American Museum of Natural History's ocean centerpiece is boldly going where no blue whale has gone before: On Twitter! Finally, a whale that doesn't bring up the dreaded "Twitter is overloaded" Fail Whale.

NatHistoryWhale seems well versed in international environmental policy and trends in marine biology, but the 21,000-pound mammal isn't above a bit of fun. It's a bit of a mystery who is close enough to the magnificent whale to be able to spot sibling shenanigans and science experiments outside its eyeline. Plus, it listens to Phish -- of course. Now that's way more adorable than Ashton Kutcher.

However, we can't help but wonder: is Twitter now out of control? Celebrities, tourism boards, even our parents and now iconic museum centerpieces? Discuss.
