TAIPEI (Jan 29) - The decomposing remains of a 66-ton sperm whale exploded on a
busy Taiwan street, showering nearby cars and shops with blood and organs and
stopping traffic for hours, local newspapers said.

The 56-foot dead whale had been on a truck headed for an autopsy at a
university earlier this week, when gases from internal decay caused its
entrails to explode in the southern city of Tainan.

The whale had died after it was beached on the southwestern coast of the
island.

In California, they don't wait, they blow up the whale before nature does.

What does this have to do with science or medicine?

Of course, chiropractic has nothing to do with science or medicine either,
so I can see how you might easily be confused.

Actually the sperm whale was having some back problems and instead of referring
him to a good chiropractor his PCP forced him to take Naprosyn and Vicodan.
Shortly thereafter the poor thing developed peptic ulcer disease from the
Naprosyn and chronic constipation from  the Vikes.

Naturally his most brilliant and venerable PCP ordered an upper GI and a
colonoscopy declaring that "HE" would get to the root of these problems.
Unfortunately, the beast developed a nosocomial staff infection from unclean
instruments used during his colonoscopy.

As a last resort ....the whales  back aching, his insides churning from the
drugs...the PCP finally granted a referral to the local hero chiropractor.

He was actually being transported to the DC's office when the thoroughly
disgusted  sperm whale made a snap decision to detonate himself in front of the
PCP's office as message to all... To demand conservative natural care and to
avoid unecessary drugs and potentially devestaing surgery.

It's a true story. Pinky swear.
