Whale explodes
Thutrsday, January 29, 2004

TAIPEI -- A dead sperm whale being transported through Tainan City suddenly exploded yesterday, splattering cars and shops with blood and guts.

The 17m, 45-tonne carcass was being taken on a flat-bed trailer-truck for an autopsy.
"Because of the natural decomposing process, a lot of gases accumulated, and when the pressure build-up was too great, the whale's belly just exploded," marine biologist Professor Wang Chien-ping said.

That is nasty. :yuck: Next time they'd better stab a hole into the whale prior to shipping. If anyone here plays DIABLO II----necromancer's corpse explosion! Finally we know how it works, he just speeds up the pressure build up.

Also, I don't care what else happens this year. "Whale Explodes" is going to have to win as the best headline of 2004 if not the 00's all together.

Man, the best we ever had happen in Brantford was a dog getting its tongue stuck to a pole, and I'm pretty sure I dreamed that. I remember waking up feeling like I'd laughed all night.

Remember Emu's face, people; one day it's going to be on the news alongside a headline about blowing some landmark to smithereens, and then we can all sigh and say, "She was such a normal person".....

Chefelf is right. I think there ought to be some slightly official reward for this.

Beautiful pictures. I love the guy standing next to the moped while the whale's fluids dump into the street.

Oh, it was a sperm whale. Read the caption:

"A 56-foot sperm whale's insides lie strewn about after its belly burst due to decomposition while being transported to the National Cheng Kung University in Tainan in southern Taiwan on January 26, 2004. The whale ran aground and died on a beach in the southwestern county of Yunlin on January 17. (Taiwan Apple daily via Reuters)"

You can also tell from the shape of the semi-exploded whale silhouette in the background. Didn't you take Whales in third grade? I thought third grade always went Indians, Dinosaurs, Whales.
