| Quote: | 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.

But in Taiwan? She had CLASS.
And I just can't believe they laid her naked on some old truck.
I shall be sending some strongly-worded letters in their direction  (or nukes, it's all good)

Well, certainly can't blame you. And leaving her naked there on the truck, that was harsh.

If I was a passer-by, Im guessing I would get furious at the first person that dares to come near me.

I'm surprised no one was wounded when the organs were catapulted out of the whale's body ...

I'm glad it wasn't near my relatives - not that I don't pity the whale, but it really couldn't feel anything.

I bet next time they'll take the autopsy to the whale instead?
Speaking of which, why the heck would there need to be an autopsy? IT BEACHED ITSELF!!!!!
I'm no doctor, but I'd bet the cause of death was BEING BEACHED!!!!!!!!
