The Exploding Whale! - Google Video
Just found this mad Exploding Whale video over at Google Video. It's a 1970 news report detailing the unbelievably stupid decision to blow up a whale on a beach.
It's worth watching to the end, to see the aftermath, and to wonder.
I always carried a kind of romantic yearning to see a dead whale skeleton on a beach, y'know, like in comics and cartoons. One you could stretch a tarpaulin over and live in, should you ever run away from home. Never did, though. That, and a light aircraft wrecked in a remote jungle, as recently seen in Lost.

That is magnificent. One question ... what were the search terms that yielded footage of exploding fetid whale carcass?
