TAIPEI (Reuters) - The decomposing remains of a 60-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.

Date: 2004-01-29 03:12 pm (UTC)You casuallyglance over as an open flatbed truck drives down Main Street toting a HUGE WHALE. Like the tail was dragging in the street, it's so big. And the only thing people get excited about was the gigantic whale dong! I mean...talk about penis fixation.
And then of course, the whale explodes all over your noodles. And still people talk about the whale dong.
