http://www.perp.com/whale/My father and brother lived there (in Florence OR)! The locals absolutely hate it when you bring it up. Needless to say that clip is a part of my permanent collection. In fact, just the other day I had it running on the big screen in our conference room. I never get tired of the shot of the car with it's roof caved in due to chunks of blubber raining from the sky. You'll also be happy to know that there is now a specific ordinance for dealing with beached whales in Lane County Oregon. And yes, dynamiting is expressly prohibited!
"It is an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much -- the wheel, New York, wars and so on -- whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man -- for precisely the same reasons." - Douglas Adams
