Is Decomposing Market Whale Set to Explode?

Have you heard about this poor beached whale up in Canada that has gotten all the blogs so excited? As the story goes, the process of decomposition inside the dead blue whale is causing gas to build up in its carcass, inflating it like a giant balloon. The concern is that a tiny disturbance, or maybe nothing at all, will cause it to explode and send a hard rain of rotting blubber and assorted whale bits falling upon a sleepy Newfoundland village.
