That would be a sight to see! I hope they can get it out to sea OK---this happens sometimes.....also with dolphins.
I hope the children there got to see the whale!

Little? :shock:

Let's just hope it doesn't die and start decomposing, the rotting carcass of a whale is not the best thing to have sitting in the center of a massive city!

I've seen before when whales have beached and they can't get them back in, they sometimes blow them up....bubblegum everywhere!

It's dead!!! I bet the Japanese restaurants in the area will be fighting each other over the meat. Apparently whale meat is pretty tasty...

I hope they get rid of it soon anyhow. I don't want a decomposing whale in the river!!

Yeah, I've heard that whale meat is really good--they cut it up into roasts&steaks. I'd try it :D Seriously, lots of Japaneses are eating it instead of beef, but its about $18.00 a pound! :shock:

Nope, apparently human meat has the same texture and taste as pork, according to people who have dabbled in cannibalism.

that was brilliant. dabbled in cannibalism? :lol: see, i never thought cannibalism was something you could really experiment with all that much. it doesn't quite have the same ring as the cliche of "experimenting in college," does it? i mean.. wouldn't you kind of either eat human all the time or be like "ew, gross!" and never try it? anyhoo. neonvomit, that post was hilarious.

hm.


:roll:

anyway. a shame about that whale.
