gotta love a dog <g>Maddy (No. 2 dog) rolled in something too
long dead the other day and was suprised, maybe even outgraged,
to find her self shortly transoported to the bath.

the saga of the whale body continues .. the thing you id'ed is
exsactly the problem they are encoutering ... tow it into shore
and ewww plus the oil leaks out and kills things, tow it out to
sea (something happens, can't remember what), blow it up and kill
of some of the feeding sharks who just happen to belong to an
endangered specis, bury it and cause some huge toxic problem.  I
don't understand. I thought things died all the time and the
earth was well equiped to handle it. Obviuously not <g>
