HAHAHAHA! Man, that was a mistake. See that car? Holy crap, dude! I think that they didn't think that one through all the way.
BWAHAHAHA!!! "Everyone was covered in small particals of whale".......... Wonder if someone in authority at least uttered those immortal words before hitting the plunger, "Hold ma beer andwatch this!"
I cannot begin to imagine the stench! As I recall, when they decided to blow the whales corpse away, it had already beagn to rot, and smell horribly.... Yee Hawwwwww! Bet someone lost a job for that grandiose idea!
