Sperm whale pressure needs to be relieved on a regular basis to prevent dangerous overload.

No sense blubbering over spilled guts. Ambergris anyone?

That's a hard subject to discuss.....

I could have gone all day without finding hundreds of pounds of whale squish in my 'my comments' page. *bleah*
Glad I can't smell it.

Don't you just hate it when people leave dead whales laying around your neighborhood?

I don't need no stinkin' link, I was there. It was about as fun as described in the story.

But this one, the subject of this thread, looks like something we need to keep in mind now when tending dead whales. People have pretty much learned from past experience not to try to dispose of them by blowing 'em up, see now we've got 'em going off on their own.

But you'd have thought there'd be plenty of other reasons not to be hauling them into the middle of town.

Damn. Just damn

That wasn't your Oldsmobile, was it? :-P

I think I was 12 then. Our family and our '62 Belair survived unharmed.
