Very nice,submitter.

Made me giggle subby.

Full of WIN, subby.
Thanks for the laugh.

Yes, but did they suck the sharks diiiiick?

"We've had seals sunbaking there before,.."

Sunbaking? Those nutty Aussies.

Hehe good headline.

Cole said the shark must have been swept into the pool overnight by a large wave.

Horsepucky...tis your missing link to landshark

/pizza

They're gonna need a bigger pool.

Apparently, swimmers at 6 AM are not shark yum yum.

/believe it.
//giggle worthy headline

"It's the first time we've had a shark in the pool," she said.

Can't you feel 'em circlin', honey
Can't you feel 'em swimmin' around
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
And you're the only bait in town

"It's funny, though, because we have swimmers who come here at 06:00 every morning to do laps. It's still dark then and they mustn't have even noticed it was there."

What would be going through someone's mind if they were the victim of a shark attack while swimming in a freaking pool?

Great line, I lol'd!

skinink:They're gonna need a bigger gene pool.

/meh

Good thing it wasn't an infinity pool, he never would have gotten out.

I guess no one bothered to get a photo.

That line gave me a chill...

What happens when sharks breathe in chlorine?

evaned:What would be going through someone's mind if they were the victim of a shark attack while swimming in a freaking pool?

shark teeth, possibly..

/or WTF?

I love the Aussies - click the link to the right about "Aus Jaws a great white lie" about some giant shark supposedly sighted at a lake inlet. The quote from the marine biologist interviewed = "It wouldn't even fit in that lake," West told Australia's AAP news agency. "A large shark like that would stick out like dog's balls."

I can't begin to imagine how farking funny it would be to see the homeowner come home and dive into their pool.

I dont think i'd ever even be able to sit on a toilet anymore...

Just when you thought it was safe to get back into the... pool? Seriously... I would have shiat myself if I were bit in a farking pool.

Pics or it didn't happen.

After RTFA, I'm thinking it's a natural rock pool that people swim in, not a man-made swimming pool; so no chlorine and unfortunately no surprised homeowners. Does remind me of the irrational fears I had as a kid swimming in our pool at night after watching Jaws though.

The Angry Hand of God:What happens when sharks breathe in chlorine?

Depends. Is it an acid-breathing shark?

Not squirrel balls?

I like the tiles on this page. I'm pretty sure I would have refused to get in this pool when I was a kid.

after members of the public reported its presence in the pool on Friday morning.

I can imagine how they reported it's presence...

OH MY GOD IT'S A SHARK! GET IN THE BOAT!

but was it a REAL pool like we're accustomed to (chlorine, clear) or was it one of those salt water hotel pools that are right next to the ocean? it says rock pool, which is basically just a partitioned pool from the ocean. this is an image of one on that beach. so not as weird that they wouldn't recognize it, and a little easier to comprehend the shark accidentally getting swept in.

Accidents of geography notwithstanding, this story deserves a tag.

here's img w/o pop

FTA:Cronulla Surf Lifesaving Club spokesperson Robyn Cole said fisheries officers netted the shark and released it back into the sea unharmed shortly after members of the public reported its presence in the pool on Friday morning...

yeh, we wouldn't want to harm it...keep it intact so that it can feast on someone in the ocean...

"there ya' go...skamper off, lil fella.."

Just had to ask....... How long have you been sitting on that pic, waiting for the right moment?

The shark was just hanging around waiting for his boat drinks.

I Picture him sitting there and finding this thread, then laughing maniacally while he prepares that pic to post and saying out loud "my time has finally come!"

Sharks are the assholes of the sea.

my mom used to tell me a story about a shark in a swimming pool.


supposedly my uncle was about to dive in an "abandoned", algae-filled pool that he happened upon, when he noticed several shark fins circling around.



looking back on this, i think my mom was just trying to scare the shiat out of me because she knew Jaws terrified me. then again, she's not usually that clever. this makes me want to bring it up to her and see if she even remembers telling me that story.

Elvis Da King:Just had to ask....... How long have you been sitting on that pic, waiting for the right moment?

Seconded.

Answer us damn you!

"The one-metre shark turned up in a rock pool situated next to the open ocean at Cronulla beach." Gee I wonder why a shark would be in the pool sitting next to the open ocean.

Makes me think of the fact where supposedly out of the 400 gallons of semen when a blue whale blows its load, only 10% makes it to the mate.

I work at the Cetacean Institute and right when I was looking at that picture, a female orca swam by and got VERY embarrassed. Please, put NSFW on that next time as you never know how many orcas are viewing FARK (you'd be surprised).

The Angry Hand of God

Great. Merciful. Christ.

I came here for Skoora references and was sorely disappointing. What is this world coming to?

alienofamerica:Elvis Da King:Just had to ask....... How long have you been sitting on that pic, waiting for the right moment?

And yet no one accuses me of this?

/have a 15 day beard growth

A few days ago there was a Cracked article talking about how Cristina Ricci has a fear of being attacked by a shark in a swimming pool and we all laughed.

Well...who's laughing now?

Made me think of a homeopathy analogy.

Never checked the math.

If you dump a bottle of wine into the ocean, allow the wine to diffuse evenly and perfectly through out the worlds oceans, and then refill the bottle from some random spot in any ocean, you will have a molecule of that wine back in the bottle.

Homepoathic nostrums are more dilute than that.

Now, about that misplaced 360 gallons of whale goo.....
