You know you want us by your side in a fight, though.

Think about it: if some of us can endure having shark clamped onto our legs for hours, think of how much use we can be! Why, when Al Qadea (or whatever) finally deploys those sharks with laser beams who're you going to turn to? Navy SEALS? They deploy dolphins for christ's sake! Our flipper's ain't fucked, mate. :wink:

Any idea how big this shark was? I just googled wobbegong, and a site said they get up to about eight ft. long. But I can't see how he could drive a car with an eight-foot long shark attached to his leg.

Didn't the article say 24 ft? Or am I making that up?

IIRC, a Wobbegong is about as long as 2 sting rays put tip to tip.

Nope, it said 2ft. I missed it the first time around. :oops:
Any ways, this reminds me of Survivor last week. (Yeah, I watch survivor, it's one of my dark secrets.) Robert Hatch was trying to spear fish, and he found a small shark about one to two feet long. Long story short, it ended up biting him on the arm, and wouldn't let go. He tried hitting it, gouging its eye's, and even biting it. Finally he walked up to shore and beat it's head against a rock. His tribe had shark for dinner.

You will be amazed at how resilient that species can be. As long as its gills are wet, it survives.
So that particuliar type of shark doesn't need to have water moving over its gills for them to work? Cool.

One tough bastard.. (the guy)

One determined shark...

What I'd like to know is, why didn't they do the obvious thing with the shark, and beat it with a tire-iron?

...had NOTHING on this guy. Hell, he was all screaming when they nailed his pasty ass to a cross. This guy was bitten by a shark, swam 300 yards to a beach with saltwater dripping into the wounds, climbed in a car, drove to a beach house, and STILL had time to take pictures.

Click, read, and be amazed...
Not amazing, one bit. You expect someone to just die, when they have to deal with excruciating pain? You've obviously never been around anyone who has suffered. I'm really annoyed at these people who insist on these 'real man, 'real men', 'badass', stereotypes. People are driven to survive, numbnuts. Don't be surprised by their effort to do so, and don't be surprised when someone actually fucking does.

Any reason why many of your latest posts have been purely trollish in nature, or should I just assume that this is a hacked account and ban your ass?
