Thar She Blows!
Decomposing Whale Explodes on Taiwan Street



Reuters
The whale died on a beach Jan. 17. Due to decomposition, the whale’s organs burst from its belly on the way to a laboratory.


TAIPEI (Jan 29) - The decomposing remains of a 66-ton sperm 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.

Something's fishy about this thread!

[oracle]

Monstro the BBD

That poor scooter and you know...no insurance is going to cover de-funking the thing.

They'll never be able to get the funk out. 20 years from now its still going to stink like rotton whale innards.

(The obvious question is just what did they *think* was going to happen to a bloated, rotting whale being transported in the midday sun?)

[shinomaster]

I thought my monkey was rude looking!!! Gross is right!!! I'm so lucky to have AOL. I woke up to that this morning while drinking my coffee.

BBDave,

I have been told that I have a rather warped sense of humor.

Kevin

[BumbleBeeDave]

Guess we’ll have to start a club! :p

Humorous responses, real gut busters.

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . any forum rule that requires US to be funny or requires YOU to read our responses.

I’m having a good time. Sorry you are not . . . Perhaps a different thread would be more entertaining . . . ?

BBDave

[Climb01742]

ah, the good old days are back--our silliness is annoying people. (personally, here at the office, i need to pretend to be grown-up, so being juvenile here is sweet escape.)

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . when you go down to the cafeteria, Climb. I cut the bottoms off half of the salt shakers.

BBDave :beer:

[Climb01742]

and bbdave, tonight, when climbing into bed, be careful. your sheets may be a bit, well, short. maturity is vastly over-rated.
:cool:
