Old but interesting.

Transportation gone horribly wrong.

"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."

I'll need to drag it up, but there's a good video of a group that tries to plant explosives in a beached whale, but they didn't realize how far the "debris" (for lack of a better term) would fly. It showered 1 ton pieces of whale on cars and people within a half mile.

There has to be a better way to transport a whale.

Anyone else catch the rather funny ending to this article?

Quote:
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.

"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.


:lol:
