My god that is disgusting.

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.

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"

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul!

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.
