BIG WHALE GO 'SPLODEY!

Whale explodes in Taiwanese city
A dead sperm whale has exploded while being delivered to a research centre near the southwestern city of Tainan.

Passers-by and cars were soaked in blood and body parts were sprayed over a road after the bursting of the whale, which was being carried on a trailer.

The whale had died earlier on a beach and had been collected so its remains could be used for educational purposes.

A marine biologist blamed the explosion on pressure from gases building up in the mammal as it began to decompose. . .

Paging Mr. Barry, Mr. Dave Barry, the Oregon Highway Department's dynamite experiment has just been trumped by the forces of nature.

Man, can you imagine being one of these poor sods? "Honey? Um... I'm going to be, uh... really, really late getting home. There's whale guts on my windscreen... no, honest. Turn on the radio... I'm going to go have a twitching fit now."

All those exploding whale sites that have been serving up the 1970 Florence, Oregon footage are going to have to update.

You know, I have got to stop reading my friends page during class. People tend to look at me funny when I randomly start snickering when the profs talking about e-mail.

For Christmas, I got a book called 'The Little Book of Bad Taste'. The cover is hot pink. Anyway, I've been reading it before bed for the past few nights, and I swear, the number of incidents of exploding corpses in that book are truly amazing.
