the shrewdness of apes

courtesy of Jim, here's a tidbit about the 60-ton sperm whale that exploded on a busy street in Taiwan on it's way to be examined by marine biologists. after a cursory rundown of the events, the article takes an abrupt shift:

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.

large penis? maybe they should call it a *spam* whale! [rim shot]

we must save its giant schlong!
