OH MY GOD! LOOK AT THE LAST LINE OF THIS ARTICLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n

Thar she blows! Dead whale explodes<\/strong>
(article from MSNBC http:\/\/www.msnbc.msn.com\/id\/4096586\/)<\/p>\n

TAIPEI – Residents of Tainan learned a lesson in whale biology after the decomposing remains of a 60-ton sperm whale exploded on a busy street, showering nearby cars and shops with blood and organs and stopping traffic for hours.<\/p>\n

The 56-foot-long whale had been on a truck headed for a necropsy by researchers, when gases from internal decay caused its entrails to explode in the southern city of Tainan.<\/p>\n

Residents and shop owners wore masks while trying to clean up the spilt blood and entrails.<\/p>\n

“What a stinking mess. This blood and other stuff that blew out on the road is disgusting, and the smell is really awful,” a BBC News report quoted one Tainan resident as saying. The sperm whale was being carried by truck through Tainan.<\/p>\n

The whale had died on Jan. 17 after it beached itself on the southwestern coast of the island.<\/p>\n

Researchers at the National Cheng Kung University in Tainan said enough of the whale remained to allow for an examination by marine biologists.<\/p>\n

Once moved to a nearby nature preserve, the male specimen — the largest whale ever recorded in Taiwan — drew the attention of locals because of its large penis, measured at some five feet, the Taipei Times reported.<\/p>\n

“More than 100 Tainan city residents, mostly men, have reportedly gone to see the corpse to ‘experience’ the size of its penis,” the newspaper reported.<\/p>\n

******************************************************* <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

“…have gone to see the corpse to ‘experience’ the size of its penis.” My Taiwanese brothers and sisters…it’s bad enough that a whale explodes in the middle of your city, but did you really have to clamor in front of newsreporters to visit a corpse and “experience” its five-foot penis? Couldn’t you have at least pretended to be a little more nonchalant about it? I swear, I’m afraid what my relatives back in Taiwan are going to send me on their Christmas cards this year…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
