Just heard it in the news, a dead whale run ashore in Punta del Este (150 Km to the east from here); a large animal, 25 tons and smelling bad already. Since blowing it up has been proven to be a bad idea (we´ve all seen the video, haven´t we?) it was up to the navy to come with an alternative. They tied the whale to a ship and towed it 50 kilometers into the sea. They didn´t get quite that far, they lost the body when it broke loose of the ties.
Next day the whale was back… :eek:
It ran ashore again very close to where it was first found, now it´s been buried in the sand to rot. I just hope that next Summer we won´t have an undead whale stalking the tourist on the beaches.
Ok…hold the phone here a minute. I’m hijacking my reply before I even get it started.
Ya see, I was going to offer up a clever response, complete with a link to the infamous Exploding Whale.
But when I ran a Yahoo search on “exploding whale”, I came across explodingwhale.com. Gee, ya think someone just might be registering domains based on popular search terms and automatically posting said search term into a generic script?
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the whale came back
It wouldn’t stay away.
It was rotting on the beach
The very next day.
The whale came back,
It wanted to be found,
The very next day it had run aground.
