It probably wasn't there long enough to start smelling, ask the East-coasters here for sure

Inga-KX · September 28th, 2004, 02:05 AM

Heck they were lucky that shit didn't explode.

Poor whale... And it sounds rather strange... Somehow I just can't believe they didn't notice that whale. I mean, they write about a "large whale". Noone can tell me that you don't notice, when you carry the weight of large whale with you. And they must also have noticed it when they were maneuvering the ship... Again, I think there's something foul about this story (And no, I don't mean the poor whale!)

FATAL · September 28th, 2004, 05:42 AM

How could they not notice the whale? Imagine what it does to the ship's hydrodynamics.

Doom_Dude · September 28th, 2004, 01:40 PM

Those cruise ships are massive. A whale on the bow would be akin to a horsefly on the ass of a dog.

Aliotroph? · September 28th, 2004, 03:04 PM

I think DD is right. Cruise ships are about as big as they come except for maybe the biggest tankers and carriers. Not I'm not sure how big a Finback whale is but I can see a ship not noticing it. I'd like to know what the front of the ship is shaped like though if it can impale a whale. Perhaps it has a bow with a point under the water to help move through ice?

"OMG!!!! ROSIE O'DONNEL IS STUCK UNDER THE SHIP!!!! o, wiat....its just a whale. never mind"

PumpkinSmasher · September 28th, 2004, 04:17 PM

That is a very unusual case. But i can see how a ship of that size would not notice it. Cruise Ships are very huge. And i do wonder what it got impaled on like alio said.

DoomedAce · September 28th, 2004, 04:18 PM

Surely the crew must've noticed at least something. It's still a 60 foot finback, probably weighing quite a few tons.

Some of the big cruise ships weigh in at 70,000 tons and up. Though thats a measurement not of actual weight but it has something to do with the mass of water the hull displaces..... or something along those lines.

Once moved to a nearby nature preserve, the male specimen -- the largest whale ever recorded in Taiwan -- drew the attention of locals because of its large penis, measured at some five feet, the Taipei Times reported.

"More than 100 Tainan city residents, mostly men, have reportedly gone to see the corpse to 'experience' the size of its penis," the newspaper reported.

o...k....I never knew that...

Aliotroph? · September 28th, 2004, 09:46 PM

Nasty. I wonder if human corpses ever explode.

Aliotroph? · September 28th, 2004, 09:53 PM

Ah, the power of the internet!

Not really, there's not enough space into the average human corpse to accumulate the gases.

Aliotroph? · September 28th, 2004, 10:03 PM

Bah! That's just no fun!

Inga-KX · September 28th, 2004, 10:20 PM

Talking of fun, ever saw that Ren & Stimpy shit where they got to live into a whale's rotting corpse and Stimpy was always complainin about there house being too stinky and maggot risen?, geez that was too freakin funny

DoomedAce · September 29th, 2004, 04:07 AM

There are stories of human self-combustion though.

Inga-KX · September 29th, 2004, 04:24 AM

Best SHC documentary I've seen is called "Burning Bodies" by Discovery Channel, it explains it all, trust me that's just another bullshit urban legend, noone can get burnt that way.
