In The Belly Of The Whale?

A lobster diver in Massachusetts made headlines over the weekend after claiming he was briefly gobbled up by a humpback whale.

Michael Packard says his initial thought was that he'd just been eaten by a white shark. But he didn't feel any teeth. That's when he realized he was in the mouth of a whale.

The 56-year-old says he was in there for about 20-seconds until it spit him out.

He was rescued and taken to Cape Cod Hospital in stable condition, suffering from leg injuries.

Experts say humpbacks are not aggressive and it's believed the incident was accidental as the whale was feeding on fish.

Packard, on Redditt, suggested Matt Damon could star in a movie about it, and call it "Good Whale Hunting."

Not everyone believes his story.

A doctor who spoke to the New York Post thinks Packard would have suffered more severe injuries if he'd really been swallowed by a whale. And a fisherman told the paper he doesn't think the story makes sense either.

This whole thing just reminds me of a song from "Veggie Tales" ... see below. (You'll be singing it all day!)
