TAIPEI (Jan 29) - The decomposing remains of a 66-ton sperm whale exploded on a busy Taiwan street, showering nearby cars and shops with blood and organs and stopping traffic for hours, local newspapers said.

The 56-foot dead whale had been on a truck headed for an autopsy at a university earlier this week, when gases from internal decay caused its entrails to explode in the southern city of Tainan.

The whale had died after it was beached on the southwestern coast of the island.

Remove that from your signature, now.

Here is something kinda like that... Someplace in somewhere 2 guys had thier arms ripped from their sockets, during a tug-of-war contest. included was a picture of a guy lying on the ground with an arm next to him... Apparently they both wrapped their arms around the rope to get a better grip.
