BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Whale explodes in Taiwanese city — This sort of thing is the symbol of the end-times, if you ask me.
A dead sperm whale has exploded while being delivered to a research centre near the southwestern city of Tainan. Passers-by and cars were soaked in blood and body parts were sprayed over a road after the bursting of the whale, which was being carried on a trailer.
The whale had died earlier on a beach and had been collected so its remains could be used for educational purposes. A marine biologist blamed the explosion on pressure from gases building up in the mammal as it began to decompose.
The whale attracted a lot of onlookers both before and after it exploded. This blood and other stuff that blew out on the road is disgusting, and the smell is really awful. Several parked cars and pedestrians got covered in blood when it exploded.

POP…
Ship exploding whales to Iraq. Drop them on Al Queda training camps.
At least it was a natural process and they didn’t jam a ton of dynamite under it.
This story is two years old…

I’m waiting for someone to make a, “Thar she blows”, joke.
No heavy metal music?
Hehehe… sperm… explode… pedestrians covered… how gay.
Ugh, like a big zit!
Suicide Whale Bombers?
J/P=?
All those pedestrians covered in blood and no Chinese laundry jokes?
lol “research center”..is that the name of the local Japanese Restaurant?
It took a lot of guts to move that whale.
I can’t help but be reminded of the “Wafer Thin Mint” scene (exploding fat guy) in Monty Python’s “Meaning of Life”. film. Must have been similar.

Might as well post the one where they actually blew one up. At least the video is entertaining.
Slow news day John????
Maybe Jonah farted.
I thought whales had a blowhole to alleviate the pressure. Did someone put a cork in both ends?
Yeah that previous guy was right, this was like two years ago. Then again, maybe it happened again. I did here that the (possibly) other one was in Tokyo.
