Thar she blows! Dead whale explodes
TAIPEI - 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 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.

FANTASTIC

I saw the first picture on another site earlier and was wondering what the story was behind it, Thank you for clearing it up

MasterR · 01-30-2004, 08:14 PM

thx for posting - nice pics

punx1325 · 01-30-2004, 08:22 PM

That would have sucked to be in the line of fire....

glytch · 01-30-2004, 08:23 PM

That's just.....disturbing. And is it just me, or does the way they're transporting that whale look VERY strange? I mean they have it roped to a truck as if it were a matress tied to a roof (yeah, I'm Southern).

StormBerlin · 01-30-2004, 09:33 PM

ok...ewww. Why didn't they take a picture where you could see the five foot penis?

fik · 01-30-2004, 09:39 PM

Cool, haha.

sailor · 01-30-2004, 10:07 PM

Wow, thats.... Interesting. It woulda sucked to have been hit with that though...

Peryn · 01-30-2004, 10:53 PM

Wow...that would be creepy to be going down the street and see a huge cocked whale just strapped on to a truck. Id be scared to be behind it on the highway. Wonder how loud that explosion was...

Mr.Deflok · 01-30-2004, 11:25 PM

That's horribly disgusting, can happen to humans too...

This thread should have NSFW attached to it, it may not be porn but it still contains potentially disturbing images.

KazronVZ · 01-31-2004, 12:55 AM

It's 59 feet long? and a 5 foot penis? That's really not so long...

6feet tall = 72 inches. divide by 10 = 7.2 inches.

59 feet long divide by 10 = 5.9 feet.

It's about proportional to us, but still noone marvels at its whole body's size =/

BUT, being dead, its shlong is probably phlacid. that would be like having a 7.2 inch softie.

What? *looks down pants* you mean that isn't normal?

oh... you said inches, not centimeters...

But really, we had a whale beach itsself around here too a couple of years back, first thing the authorities did was punch a hole in it so the gas could get out. I'd say if you're goanna transport it you would at least look into what happens to animals after they die...

Phaenx · 01-31-2004, 07:28 AM

Aahahaha, take that hippies.

bermuDa · 01-31-2004, 01:44 PM

whale penises have bones in them, IIRC. It's not the proportions that fascinate, it's the size of the member itself.

I can only imagine the smell (and I hope my suspiscions are never confirmed); what an awful mess to have to clean up.

Soggybagel · 01-31-2004, 02:32 PM

I pity whoever owns that scooter :P

degrawj · 01-31-2004, 02:59 PM

this reminds me of back in the day when a dead whale was beached on the southern Oregon coast and the coast guard blew it up with dynamite. it was pretty freaking funny.

exploding whale in oregon

genstylez · 01-31-2004, 04:00 PM

you can thank oregon engineers on that one. Thinking they could blow it up and get away with it.

cait987 · 01-31-2004, 05:32 PM

Haha, That was pretty cool to see on a screen however in person that would fucking suck, Hey kids, look at that whale driving away into the sunset, then it explodes haha.

And since when did whales have dicks? Learn something new everyday I guess.

Watching the oregon video right now lets hope its pretty cool.

you sound like air45

its swollen bone-member did become so engorged with the pleasurable arousal that its massive sex explosion did cause it to erupt! this is top-drawer!

Yeah, that would have been interesting to see.

I can't imagine just walking down the street minding my own business and suddenly a huge whale explodes and showers its blood and entrail all over me. I probably would have puked on the spot...

Tophat665 · 02-01-2004, 06:27 PM

I''m sure whoever forgot to vent the body cavity will cachalot of flak.

Would have been an excuse to get out of work. Because seriously, how can the boss argue with a person covered in whale guts?
