"...our cameras stopped rolling immediately after the blast, as the humor of the situation suddenly gave way to a run for survival as huge chunks of whale blubber fell everywhere..."

YES!!!

That would be nice. Quicktime and Realplayer (along with GQ and BTC) are my archenemies.

The quicktime video played just fine in mplayer on Linux, if you're looking for away around downloading quicktime/realplayer.

How long ago was that? The reporter looks like a refugee from the 70's. :D

That was actually in the '70s, if I remember correctly...

I think that was my first "humerous video experience" when I first got on the internet.

LOL, ditto. I think somebody sent a link to that video during my first week online. Even at 14.4, or maybe it was 9600 (man, that was the stone age), it was well worth the eternal download. 100 years from now that'll still be one of the all-time greats.
