HAPPY EXPLODING WHALE DAY!!!

"The blast blasted blubber beyond all believable bounds."

"The infamous exploding whale incident occurred Nov. 12, 1970, in Florence, Oregon. A whale washed ashore on the Oregon beach and with no other means to dispose of it, officials came up with a plan to blow the whale up. The result? Whale carcass all over the local beach." - KATU News, from the video description

And now we have an "Exploding Whale Memorial Park" in Florence, OR 😂

Oregon is weird.
