Welcome, Register-Guard readers!

We just want to extend a warm welcome to our fellow Oregonians who are visiting our new and improved Exploding Whale website after reading Bob Welch‘s column in today’s Register-Guard newspaper. The column profiles this website in honor of this Saturday’s 35th anniversary of Oregon’s Exploding Whale (November 12, 2005). We’re very excited that you are among the very first to see our new and improved site, which we are officially launching today!

If you are not familiar with Oregon’s exploding whale, make sure to click through the drop-down links in the First-time visitor? section. If you’re an EW veteran, we’ve added a ton of new content, including all the old newspaper articles from November, 1970, and a catalog of other exploding whales. 

For a more detailed history of this website, take a look at our About this site page. Then, have a look around and leave a few words on our feedback page. Most importantly, add us to your bookmarks and come back soon!
