Only in Taiwan

"Dead Whale has one last blow

The decomposing remains of a 60-tonne sperm whale exploded on a busy Taiwan street showering nearby cars and shops with blood and organs and stopping traffic for hours.

The 17m whale had been on a truck headed for an autopsy at a university when gases caused by internal decay caused its entrails to explode."



I was there and it was not nice - now I know what it was all over the taxi

Talking

"now I know what it was all over the taxi."
Was it a Sperm Whale?

Betcha it had the locals licking their lips and scrambling for "bits" for the evening soup.
Whale is still an expensive delicacy in Japan, where a significant number are killed each year in the name of "research".
