Is the iceman at it again?

Hmm... not sure how this makes someone a "hero"... the guy may be tough, but he's only a hero in the sense that he saved his own ass.

Couldn't the couple help the guy drives to the clubhouse?

What a helpfull bunch!

Yeah, Greg Norman can be a real bastard, you know.
 
2004-02-11 12:07:56 AM
I guess "Hero" will do, since we don't have a "Bad Ass" or "Bad Motherfarker" tag
 
2004-02-11 12:08:14 AM
The shark was only 2 foot long... By the Hero Tag I would have thought it was at least a 12 footer.
 
2004-02-11 12:08:39 AM
it didnt say if they were sharks with fricken lasers or not either.

Homer: That Timmy is a real hero!
Lisa: How do you mean, Dad?
Homer: Well, he fell down a well, and... he can't get out.
Lisa: How does that make him a hero?
Homer: Well, that's more than you did!

Picture of the dreaded Wobbegong Shark. Women and children, avert your eyes!

Meh.
 
2004-02-11 12:10:11 AM
Wow. A 2 foot bottom-feeding shark.

The only remarkable thing is that the blood in the water (was there any?) didn't bring some of Australia's bigger-than-two-foot sharks in on him.


I guess this is the Aussie version of getting toilet paper stuck to the bottom of your shoe.

getting bit by a shark makes you a hero? What if you get bit by a mosquito?

That just makes you itch.

we need to have a "Balls" tag.

so basically a dogfish bit his ass.

tip: bury thumbs in eye cavities. kills instantly if enough pressure is applied.

ps: do not try with halibut. tail whip may bust your back/femur/pelvis etc.

I've been scuba diving hundreds of times all over the world and I've never seen a shark. Not one. This guy is just lucky I guess.
 
2004-02-11 12:13:50 AM
only a Hero if it had his whole right leg in its mouth.

Don't these things usually leave people alone, or is everything down there hell-bent on maiming or poisoning people?

Quite the shark of a problem

Bah, the carpet shark is a wimp.
 
2004-02-11 12:18:41 AM
It was Aussie involved, Zionist_Entity. They're naturally alarming and provoke wild behavior in animals.

GIS for shark leg.

2 foot shark... pffft... he should have bitten the biatch back...
 
2004-02-11 12:22:18 AM
crap guess my html was revoked.
 
2004-02-11 12:22:22 AM
Good thing his private parts were shrinked from the cold water or it could have been a more painfull bite.

Why do sharks explode?

This is because sometimes their brains and sexual organs are made out of M-80's. (Dissolve to wooded scene with another shark) Sometimes, to attract mates, a shark will explode, and sometimes they explode just to attract giant killer bees.

Who cares about a silly shark? I just saw Drew Barrymore stroke some beaver on the Letterman show.
 
2004-02-11 12:31:28 AM
this kinda thing has jumped the shark already :/

Was it Batman?

2 foot shark or not, I'd have hated to have a spam-can size chunk of butt removed. It was pretty cool of the guy to have reacted as quickly as he did. Still, "Hero"? I dunno
As for why there are so few sharks around, it's because we're eating them all! Shark fin soup, shark steak, tooth pendants, sharkskin abrasives, by-catch (meaning it wasn't what you wanted to catch this time so you kill it and throw it back)...etc. etc...The suckers reproduce a LOT slower than scaled fish so they just aren't gonna grow back as fast as squid or bluefish....and nobody knows what the fark that's gonna do to the underwater ecosystem. I personally hope that it means a massive increase in man-eating squid, myself.

Try getting bitten by a two foot shark. I'll bet it hurt more than you realize.

He should eat it just for spite.

This girl says he's a pussy. He only needed to tap its ampules of lorenzii or turn it upside down, or poke its eyes, or kill the 24" monster.

I'm with BadAndy23, Fark needs a BADASS! tag. Though I'm not sure being bitten by the chihuahua of the sea would count.

I don't want to get bitten by a 2" goldfish, but it doesn't make me a bad arse if I do and manage to stop myself from crying ;)
