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.

You are right, Dave. And most likely those guts are all over his nice Bruno Magli shoes.

Wow. That looks even worse than Oregon's Amazing Exploding Whale, long of internet fame. |

I'm thinking Riesling. You'd need something a bit acidic to cut through the blubbery taste. |
