LAST EDITED ON 01-29-04 AT 11:07 PM (EST)you can just bet that I would have been too close to THIS becasue that's just the kind of luck that I have:
Decomposing Whale Explodes on Street
TAIPEI (Reuters) - The decomposing remains of a 60-tonsperm 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
If you want to see a picture (it's kind of gross, though), go here:

If that happened near me, I'd have to buy a new car. And new clothes. And I'd have to go on a long vacation. Immediately.
ICK!

You must read this article on it.http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4096586
Especially the 2nd to last paragraph.
It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but it doesn't take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face.

I can die happy without ever being exposed to an exploding sperm whale.I'm not even looking at the link. I might hurl my sausage McGriddle.

Me? I'm fine, albeit a bit grossed out by the whole topic here coupled with the dead racoon that looks at me on my way to work.How are you? Tooth removal recovery going well?
