You've got an hour's supply of oxygen, a wetsuit to protect you from the stomach acid and a knife. Tricky one, innit?

Use the knife to cut your way out would be the logical answer.

i'd go out the same way i went in Very dangerous. Even if it opened its mouth enough, it could bite you as you tried to escape. |

If someone swallows unwary se(a)men, does that make them a whale!!

I'd crawl up its gullet until I could feel its heart beating, then slice through the gullet and sever the aorta from the heart.
This would kill it sharpish. Prob now is, does it sink or float? If it sinks, you're probably fecked, as by the time you managed to get out through its mouth, you'd be down so deep, the water pressure would kill you. If it floats, you can exit through its mouth and wait for a passing ship. At least it's a 50/50 chance of survival, I reckon. |

Advice for Swallowees
Once inside, sit tight and try not to touch anything if at all possible. Gastric processes are invasive and skin does not recover well from encounters with digestive fluids. The process by which gastric acid handles food is slow and wearing clothing, especially of the synthetic variety, is likely to buy you some time. Escape from the belly of a whale, aside from simple survival, may be far more difficult as the majority of whales - especially the Baleen whales that rely on sieving minuscule marine life forms for their diet - have complex digestive systems. They may have up to four stomach chambers, rather like the multi-stomach system of a cow, which allows a controlled channelling of foodstuffs through the digestive system. There is also the constant intake of seawater that results from their feeding processes. Unless someone is looking for you, or you have a very large cutting implement and a strong stomach, you may have to be satisfied with simply surviving until starvation takes you or good fortune saves the day. If all else fails you might consider using pepper or a small fire to smoke your way out...........lolololol |

In the late winter of 1891, the whale-ship Star of the East was in the vicinity of the Falkland Islands when it came within sight of a whale. Two boats were dispatched with harpoons to snare and kill the beast, but the lashing of its tail capsized one of the launches, spilling the crew into the sea. All were accounted for except for a single sailor, James Bartley.
Ultimately the whale was killed and the carcass drawn aboard the vessel to begin the process of salvaging valuable resources. By the next day good progress had been made in removing the layers of blubber from the beast, so a tackle was attached to its stomach to hoist it on deck. Sailors were startled by spasmodic life within the belly of the whale, and upon further inspection the missing sailor was found. Bartley was quite mad for two weeks, but upon recovering his senses he recounted what little he could recall of being dragged under the water. Struggling for his life he had been drawn into darkness within which he felt a terrible and oppressive heat. He found slimy walls that gave slightly to his touch, but could find no exit. When his situation finally dawned on him Bartley lost his senses completely and lapsed into a state of catatonia. During his time inside the whale the gastric juices affected his exposed skin. His face, neck and hands were bleached a deathly white with a texture like parchment, a condition from which the skin never recovered. Bartley believed that he would probably have lived inside his house of flesh until he starved, as breathing was not a problem. |

Amazing story, if true. Easy to see how you'd go mad. If it is true, there must have been numerous cases of others who were swallowed and digested.

Is this a case for Mulder and Scully? |

By:
Case for Cannyman, imo

By:
Billkiller, you left out the last line of the story.............flesh until he starved, as breathing was not a problem.
There are, however, reports that suggest that this whole story is nothing more than an early Urban Legend. |

I didn't think that line added anything of interest...
