My god that is disgusting. http://www.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/puke.gif

WTF were they thinking?? Don't have to answer.

Wonder who got to clean that up? Never seen that much blood on a street in my life, not even in a horror film. Must have been slippery. :(

That is going to smell real bad

Apparently stillborn whales bear an uncanny resemblance to motor scooters.

Yao is so suprised that the advertising claims of his scooter wax were actually true, "Do you live near the fish market? Well, WhaleOff will repel even the largest of those aweful innerds explosions! It's shinny and new and we guarantee it or we will give you double your money back"

Fish tacos anyone?

could be worse, i mean it was a sperm whale.

If it's the real deal you want, contact KATU TV, Portland Oregon...a fiasco that still has Oregon's department of Transportation wiping egg (or is it whale blubber?) from it's face. Sad but true, these hapless bureaucrats decided that the best way to dispose of a beached, and very dead, whale was to blow it up. Blow it up they did, and the TV footage shows on silly TV shows to this day...decades after the real event.

Poor bastard. :( What a grand creature.

I did business with a Fisheries Officer here in Melbourne (like Fishcop) and he told me that they sometimes have the unpleasant task of clearing dead beached whales with giant chainsaws. :(
