One Good Reason Not to Swim in the Ocean (off topic)
This is one of those emails I got forwarded to me. This one got my attention……..
“There was a family on holiday in Australia for a week and a half when the husband, wife and their 15 year old son decided to go scuba diving. The husband is in the Navy and has had some scuba experience.
The son wanted a picture of his mom and dad in all their gear so he got the under water camera ready to go. When it came to taking the picture the dad realized that the son looked like he was panicking as he took it and gave the “OK” hand sign to see if he was alright.
The son took the picture and swam to the surface and back to the boat as quick as he could so the mom and dad followed to see if he was OK. When they got back to him he was scrambling onto the boat and absolutely panicking.
When the parents asked why he said “there was a shark behind you” and the dad thought he was joking……..but the skipper of the boat said it was true………but they wouldn’t believe him. As soon as they got back to the hotel, they loaded the picture onto the laptop and this is what they saw. (continue reading to see the picture)
(Try and tell me you wouldn’t have emptied your entire digestive system right at the point you saw it)
Would you have stayed to take the picture?? ”

Urban legend – the pictures is photoshopped. See http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/scubashark.asp
BTW, I like your wordpress work.

That photo may be photoshopped, but I’m always cautious getting into the water since I arrived in Oz. Sharks attack abalone divers quite frequently. They are there, it’s just a matter of whether you may find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Oh well, I guess it’s photoshopped. Even so, the older I get, the more swimming in the ocean doesn’t seem like such a good idea.
Like Armen said, being attacked by a shark may be a matter of being in the wrong place(ocean) at the wrong time, but I can’t imagine a more painful way to die than being eaten alive.

Haha.
Has to be photoshopped. The shark is too big (thing’s massive!), but the pic wouldn’t have as much impact if it was a more realistic size.
But it’s a cool pic and it’s really well done.
