Exploding Whale

Holy Smokes:

This is the first time I have heard of a whale suddenly exploding!

I knew drift-net fishing was dangerous for wales and dolphins, but I didn't realise they were under threat from dynamite fishing too!

 

I thought this was a thread on Kristy Alley

Boy was I surprised.

 

I imagine the whale was, too.

 

Well that's what having an unaccredited degree will do!

 

Too Gross!

I loved the quote about it being a stinking mess! I'll bet!

 

I'm glad I was anywhere near that explosion!!


Abner

 

Oops! Meant to say "I'm glad I was not anywhere near that explosion!!!! Nasty!


Abner

 

Oh, Abner! I'm so relieved that you were NOT anywhere near it. *shudder*

 

You and me both!!


Abner

 

I'm starting a new rock group. Hootie and the Exploding Whales.

 

there ya go! He, he, he!


On another note, I don't think I am going whale watching anytime soon!


See ya,

Abner

 

you could hand out panchos and wet wipes with the tickets.

 

Well...

Here in Oregon we do it the old fashioned way ... with explosives! In this case, a half ton of explosives!

Wow!

This also happens with humans, expanding gasses break the body open.

Because of the obvious weight difference between a whale and a human, I wouldn't call the human result an "explosion", more like an eruption.

The worst case I've seen was someone who was dead inside his apartment for about a month, in the dead of winter. The heat was set at 80 degrees, and all the windows were closed.

I was sent on a "well-being check", and my first clue that things were not well was the hundreds, if not thousands, of flies that covered every window of the apartment.

Use your imagination to fill-in the rest.

 

ewwwww! Teaching's looking better all the time

 

Ok young lady! Perhaps you could teach mortuary Science!



Take care,
