whale fish, whale fish, wh-BOOM!

Honestly, what is it with exploding whales these days? It seems like just yesterday some people blew the whale out of a dead beached whale because they "couldn't stand the smell" (we know why they really did it- because they knew it would be awesome). Then there's something about exploding whales in Sweden...

And now this Taiwan whale. The funny thing about this one is that nobody blew it up. It just up and exploded. Gee whiz, folks! You don't need to dynamite 'em, after all! They're self-disposing mammals! Leave a dead whale lying around for a few days, and KABOOM! I love the Taiwan story because the whale was just sitting in the middle of a city street. I guess the truck driver stopped to get a cofee or something. The story probably would've been funnier if the truck was in heavy traffic when it happened, but hey, this is funny enough. I can just imagine a mom driving her kids to kindergarten, reviewing the alphabet, when suddenly a bunch of blood and entrails explode all over the windshield. "It's all over, kids! Judgement day! Repent now!!"

I'll bet the one marine biologist in town was just sitting on a bench nearby waiting for it to happen. Then when it did he probably shouted "I told you so, you sonsabitches!" and fell down laughing.

But wait, there's more to this story! It says that this particular dead whale was very impressive because of its huge member:
"More than 100 Tainan city residents, mostly men, have reportedly gone to see the corpse to 'experience' the size of its penis."


Wipe that grin off your face, you well-endowed explosive sea-mammal!
