Worshipping the Whale

An 82 foot whale washed up on shore in Vietnam last Friday and since then thousands of people have flocked to the beach to pay it homage. The pilgrims burn incense near the big stinky dead mammal and plan to use its bones (once they're stripped of rotting flesh) to build a temple in its honor, as dead whales are supposedly an omen of good fishing.

Wouldn't it just be so cool if it exploded like that one in Taiwan a couple months ago?
