Sperm whale explodes in Tainan City

Blood and guts of 17-meter long 50-ton mammal splatter sidewalks, automobiles parked nearby


A dead sperm whale being transported through Tainan City on its way to a research station suddenly exploded yesterday, splattering cars and shops with blood and guts.

3. Here's a page about a different exploding whale.
Here's a page about a different, infamous, exploding whale. Dinamite was involved, however, and a great time was had by all (except perhaps for the guy whose car was damaged by a falling whale piece).

You can get video from one of the links.

Snopes has a little write-up: http://www.snopes.com/critters/disposal/whale.htm

5. Thanks for the link.
I had a neighbor put a firecracker in a frogs mouth. He lit the fuse and threw the frog at some girls.

He's probably an insurance salesman or an IRS agent now.
