Decomposing Whale Explodes on Street
Thu Jan 29,10:51 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!

TAIPEI (Reuters) - The decomposing remains of a 60-tonsperm whale exploded on a busy Taiwan street, showering nearby cars and shops with blood and organs and stopping traffic for hours, local newspapers said.

The 56-foot dead whale had been on a truck headed for an autopsy at a university earlier this week, when gases from internal decay caused its entrails to explode in the southern city of Tainan.

The whale had died after it was beached on the southwestern coast of the island.

I seem to remember something about a UK local authority using explosives to try to get rid of a whales corpse on the beach. Unfortunatly they used too much and showered the twon with rotting whale pieces!

Sushi anyone?

jseal 01-30-2004 01:40 PM

Eros,

Yes indeed! Lots and lots of sushi!

That'd be my luck. I'd be standing on the corner as the truck is driving by!

"Wow, now there's something you don't see every da...." BLAMMO!

According to MSNBC the whale's penis was visible and was 5 feet in length. Apparently men were arriving from all over town to 'experience' the immense penis. :rolleyes:

Actually I think that was us yanks that pulled that stunt (where more dynamite is the way to solve all problems)... regardless of where it was, the results were less than stellar :).... I'll have to see if I can dig up the video of it I'm in need of a good laugh :p
