Sunbaking? Those nutty Aussies.

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

They're gonna need a bigger pool.

"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?

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."

 
MIguy [TotalFark] 2008-07-13 04:25:22 PM  
I can't begin to imagine how farking funny it would be to see the homeowner come home and dive into their pool.

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.

RatMotor 2008-07-13 04:28:43 PM  
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.

Depends. Is it an acid-breathing shark?

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!

 
hushyermouth 2008-07-13 04:34:42 PM  
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.

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.."

arghyematey 2008-07-13 04:50:12 PM  
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.

"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).

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.....
