Bit of light relief here, a daft article that made me laugh... TAIPEI - Residents of Tainan learned a lesson in whale biology after the decomposing remains of a 60-ton sperm whale exploded on a busy street, showering nearby cars and shops with blood and organs and stopping traffic for hours. The 56-foot-long whale had been on a truck headed for a necropsy by researchers, when gases from internal decay caused its entrails to explode in the southern city of Tainan. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4096586/ The image is, errr, messy....so not for viewing after breakfast if you don't like seeing dead whales insides strewn over the pavement! Once moved to a nearby nature preserve, the male specimen -- the largest whale ever recorded in Taiwan -- drew the attention of locals because of its large penis, measured at some five feet, the Taipei Times reported. "More than 100 Tainan city residents, mostly men, have reportedly gone to see the corpse to 'experience' the size of its penis," the newspaper reported.
I would be more than unhappy if I was walking past and got splattered.... They shouldnt have been parading it through the street!
Posted before, and it's still disgusting. You'd think they would have taken a dead whale the back of a truck a more discreet route.
Oregon's Exploding Whale We used 1/2 ton of dynamite to make ours explode! movie clips in various bandwidths Urban Legends What a mess!!!!!!!!!!!!!
