#1 Wobbegong sharks can grow up to three metres in length, have razor-like teeth and are said to be moody and short-tempered.

Typical Dean supporters.

#2 it is common for them to linger around the reef flushed with fish.
Fits the classic shark MO.

#7 "He basically asked the question, âCan you help me get it off?â â thereâs nothing in our procedure manual for that type of thing.

"My name is John Kerry and I have this ~~Al Gore~~ shark on my leg"

"Sorry John, nothing in the FEC manual covering this"

#11 Let it be know - a hacksaw and a roll of duct tape are now a suggested addition to the old beach kit.

#13 Inside the head of the Wobbegong
by muck4doo

Whew! I guess that clears it all up. And here I thought it was one of those hate things requiring some group hugs. I wasn't looking forward to that.

As for it being dead, you're right. That hurts me, deeply. I guess we shouldn't respond with violence to violence - and just accept our ~~dhimmitude~~ fate as the main course.

Uh, I don't quite know how to say this... Oh, what the hell:
Are you clinically insane, or just trolling?

#15 I'd hate to think what would happen if a shark actually drank somone's beer down there.

"Crike! Now I have to drink straight from the shark!"

#17 Hey, muck4doo, isn't that chainey pulling up in front of your house?

#18 Remember something from Panama about a screwdriver in the eye socket, but definitely only out of the water. Also, it helps if you hold the shark upside down. The internal organs aren't well attached, and they all slide down toward the nose. It won't make 'em let go, but they stop thrashing so badly. Kinda hard to swim that way, though - or drive a car.

This guy kinda reminds me of the Colorado dude that cut off his arm because it was pinned under a large boulder, then drove himself to the hospital. You have to admire someone with that kind of courage!
