Wasn’t that bowl of petunia said to have muttered “Not again!”?
Maybe the makers of the movie Tremors got the inspiration for chunks of monster raining down from this video.
Duhthena?
That reminds me of a movie outtake: At the end of a dance, a woman tells the man she’s with, “You remind me of a trumpet player I used to blow!” 
They did that with the bow section of the New Carissa. As I recall, there were some people who suggested we do to the ship what we did to the whale. Some of them were actually serious.
Five years later she’s had five more birthdays but we’ve had zero more exploding whales; I feel so cheated.
The problem is that video is fake. It wasn’t explosives - two planes actually flew into the whale and demolished it.
OK, that was worth zombie-fying this thread.
And there was a grassy knoll nearby. 
This reminds me of an old book we found in a closet at my school’s library. It was written late 1800s by an english clergyman who was, as was common in those days, something of an amateur naturalist. The chapter describes a whale washed up on the shore and his efforts to study it before the townsfolk had completely stripped it of all its valuable blubber and bone. He was particularly interested in the huge heart and clambered up to get a better view when he slipped and fell head first into the aorta. The locals had to drag him free by his feet.
Yes, but at what temperature do steel whale bones burn???
Crowded with Ukrainians and Iranians.
Today is the 50th anniversary of Oregon’s exploding whale
Wikipedia is commemorating it on the front page.
I mean, aside from the whole kneecapping thing, she was quite an impressive skater, one of the very few women in history capable of a triple axel.
I pause for a moment contemplate the blackened hellscape where Portland used to be.
C’mon, everybody. This incident was just a fluke of Oregon history.
Nah, a dead fluke on the beach they could have just picked up & thrown in a nearby trashcan, no dynamite needed.
ETA: it looked like a current post; it was hours away from being a year old
That would have been quite a tale!
