Now this (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4096586?f) is just plain nasty!



TAIPEI (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4096586?f) - 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.

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 *****, 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 *****," the newspaper reported.

scooter? I've never heard it described that way before ha,ha...

That's sick.. didn't they learn anything from watching the video where they blew up a whale and the pieces were strewn over 1500 ft.. If they had watched Reno 911 Miami, they would have figured this out.

Just proves, never get too close to a 5-foot ***** because at some point it's bound to explode!
