Exploding Whale, or "Hey, I have an idea..."
This is one of those things that I'm not sure even looked good on paper. This is one of those things where laziness and stupidity won out over common sense. Note in the report that the reason this beastie wasn't cut up and disposed of was because nobody wanted to do it.

You know I was about to say that this was a urban legend and I even have it listed as such in one my urban legend research books. I remember first reading about this in the SF Chronicle around 94. They had reported that it had happened out around the half moon bay/ Greyhound rock area. Funny thing is that this article and another one other both printed as current events in the SF chronicle led to my total and complete distrust of newspaper and news as providers of fact.
Thanks for blogging this.
