Doesn't appear to be a suicide bombing. But we can't rule anything out.

How disturbing are the extra quotes around the word experience below? Very. "More than 100 Tainan city residents, mostly men, have reportedly gone to see the corpse to 'experience' the size of its penis,"

"More than 100 Tainan city residents, mostly men, have reportedly gone to see the corpse to 'experience' the size of its penis," the newspaper reported. Ok, not what I find interesting about them. Yet for mammals, they do have the largest nose. Recently scientist exploring the giant squids have learned a lot about them. Their deep diving depths and sleeping in pods suspended like: tails up, nose down 40ft under water.

Exploding whales. Haven't viewed the Oregon video in a while. It's bizarrely hysterical, unless that was your car, struck down by decomposing whale blubber raining from the sky. Now a whale explodes in Taiwan. Has anyone notified Homeland Security? Weapons of mass disgusting destruction.

Saw this yesterday (email subject was: Scooter for Sale, real cheap!) and thought it should be surpressed lest the terrorists realize that whales explode and they start trying to hijack them to ram them into buildings. We've all heard of dirty bombs, I think this qualifies as a nasty bomb.

If only Dame Vera Lynne had been there to immortalise the sheer unexpectedness of the moment in song. All together now, "Whale meat again, don't know where, don't know when..."

Can you just imagine being on the street when this happened. Just the whale going by on a truck is surreal enough. Then BOOM Stinking flesh everywhere. I'd never leave the house again.
