Complete MPSIMS 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. ---

Why not cut that whale into small chunks and send to USA, we are still hungry. 😉 ---

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](http://www.perp.com/whale/). But when I ran a Yahoo search on “exploding whale”, I came across [explodingwhale.com](http://www.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? > [@The Dumbasses At explodingwhale.com](#): > > At this web site we offer assistance with exploding whale. Other than information concerning exploding whale we also provide the best web sites concerning news, news & the internet and news & world report the best colleges. This makes [explodingwhale.com](http://explodingwhale.com) the best resource for exploding whale on the web. :smack: ---
