He is not worried about the whale guts, but only what his wife is going to beat him with when he gets home with the new Kymco in this condition.
Any word on how the whale is doing?
He’s dead k.k. Dead…
Yea, the Discovery piece was on TV a couple of nights ago, but I don’t recall hearing a street name. Thanks.
I bet that guy’s scooter still reeks.
That means we can’t take whales on the airplane anymore. Sucks.
Yeah but you could still secretly stick one in your underpants (at your own risk, of course).
Wonderful. I was unfamilar with this historic event.
Yeah, it was historic. I wonder if they have a plaque. I was in Aus at the time and remember catching it on the radio news, although I wasn’t paying much attention initially as to the location and later told my friends it happened in Thailand. Thailand, Tainan, Taiwan . . . 
First thing I learned about Tainan, doing a Google search before coming here.
There’s a wee museum near Anping where they had the skeleton, some photos of the incident, and glass tanks with the heart, some guts, and the piece de resistance, the penis.
I used to do field trips for students. The penis was a BIG hit with the girls, though it made some of them feel sick.
(The whales penis, that is.)
They’ve cleaned it up now though. Just the skeleton (minus teeth, which are ivory, so I guess they “got lost”). No photos or organs so not nearly as interesting. 
I love that episode of Taiwan’s history.
I can’t work out if it is as good as the town in Oregon that tried to dispose of a beached whale with dynamite in the 70s.
] in Taiwan.
Guess no one here is cultured enough to be interested in Taiwan exploding whale history.
Can you investigate for us readers if local sushi prices suddenly imploded, too, due to over-supply reasons.
Recently a re-mastered video of the famous 1970 exploding whale on an Oregon beach was released on YouTube. Well worth a watch.
i guess there’s a meme in there somewhere.
