haven't they seen that video of the whale bomb? you know, the one that didn't go so well...
and can you find a whale demolition expert in the phone book?
Isn't there video footage floating around the Internet somewhere showing an attempt at blowing up a whale somewhere in the States in the 70s. Essentially, blubber was flung for miles around (including one big chunk that totalled some poor guy's car), but the main part of the carcass stayed right where it was. Luckly, no one was injured, though a lot of bystanders were showered with rotting flesh.
It was a pretty funny clip, if I recall. I hope the Scots do it. Really I do.
Okay it didn't work so I tried it again and just put the text in too.

A classic. I know people from Florence, and they still talk about it.
The smell will be blown over the U.K. thats why they want the whale bomb
This proves there is life after death - of a whale no doubt. The story behind the story of the Oregon Whale Bomb.
The gentleman in charge of the clean up of the dead whale disagreed with the idea of using explosive on the whale. He believed that cutting it up would be the smart thing to do. The idea was to blow the whale up and let the sea birds eat the results. After the deed two things become apparent. One the exploding whale went further then expected AND sea birds don't eat dead food. If you ever live on a sea coast and smelled dead whale you'd know what a great story that was. In the end they did what the gentleman suggest in the first place. Clop of the remains and bury them.
