If you’ve ever been on the Internet (and since you’re reading Twitchy, you clearly are), you’ve probably seen the video out of Florence, Oregon — it was 1970, and a dead whale washed up on the beach. Authorities decided to blow it up with a half-ton of dynamite.
The result was a hail storm of dead whale blubber — one that crushed at least one car. No one was hurt, but the video is epic.
History is repeating itself.
UPDATE: NOAA says the dead whale seen floating off the Oregon coast has washed ashore. The public is being asked to stay away from the carcass so they can conduct an exam: https://t.co/rYMiMMFcAY pic.twitter.com/ibfkJRBZk1

Solid advice.
I’ve heard a little dynamite can resolve this… 😏
