A dead whale of a problem at Oregon coast near Florence

Devil's Elbow beach near Florence, Oregon on Sunday March 8, 2009 a dead fin whale washed ashore, prompting the state to close the beach and Heceta Head Lighthouse State Scenic Viewpoint. Officials estimated the male fin whale to be nearly 50 feet in length.

@johnlennon1970 Not everyone giggles at a funeral......only George Carlin does.

@johnlennon1970 clearly, people crying at funerals have different reasons than those that cry at weddings.

@TheRedwallfan101 People cry at weddings too...not everyone cries at funeral's some people laugh and giggle unless its a tragic death off course...i'm not mean hearten but its just the way it is! A whale washed up on shore is just part of the feeding cycle.
