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.
