Sperm whale explodes on Taiwan street!

Story

"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.

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.

Residents and shop owners wore masks while trying to clean up the spilt blood and entrails.

"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. Taiwan Apple Daily via Reuters
The sperm whale was being carried by truck through Tainan.

The whale had died on Jan. 17 after it beached itself on the southwestern coast of the island.

Researchers at the National Cheng Kung University in Tainan said enough of the whale remained to allow for an examination by marine biologists.

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.

More than 100 Tainan city residents, mostly men, have reportedly gone to see the corpse to 'experience' the size of its penis."


*shakes head* This is wrong in so many ways.

 

Well that's different.

 

ha, flocking to marvel at a penis

 

perhaps it was a terrorist suicide bomber whale

 

"drew the attention of locals because of its large penis, measured at some five feet"

See Moby Dick was a big guy.

 

That does sound like a failed attempt by the Chinese goverment to blow up Taiwan once and for all.

 

"drew the attention of locals because of its large penis, measured at some five feet"

This is why I don't go to Taiwan anymore. The crowds got too much.

 

what, lure them in with a large penis and then blow guts at them? it's been done before.

 

Oh yuck!

I can't imagine though wanting to see a whale's naughty bits.

 

I wonder how whales do it. Ever tried doing it under water?

 

Wow. Lots of sperm everywhere!

 

*doesn't know whether to laugh or cry*

 

SECRETSISTER : I suppose thats a somewhat common reaction from women when discovering a 5 ft. penis

 

I think the common reaction would be to run away!

 

It was probably terrorists who planted a bomb inside the whale.

 

Orrrr.... It was a terrorist Sperm whale.

 

We should bring back underwater nuke testing and teach those wannabe fish how it's done.

 

Anyone see the pictures of this ? They rule !

 

That is really gross...

 

Really ? I found it strangely provocative...

 

Is there anyone else as immature as me that is laughing at the fact that it is called a *sperm* whale?



Other things I laugh at: Homo Erectus. Some kind of prehistoric human, but it had me laughing for hours.

 

Damn those terrorist sperm whales. We now have to "liberate" the Pacific Ocean.

 

That's just scary.

 

Chinese people would be impressed by a five-inch penis, let alone five feet.

 

^ ouch ^
