#5 Sounds like a typical "Icelandic" saga to me. A 660lb Shark that was dead would still be almost impossible for anyone to "drag up to dry ground". But having just watched the World's Strongest Man Contest this could be a welcome new addition to the feats of strength.

#7 Normally, I wouldn't swim in the ocean with a chum-fest in progress. In this case I would do whatever Iceman told me to do. It is doubtful that the 600lb shark rolled over and played dead while Iceman was dragging him. Hope he was wearing some gloves.

#8 Pity this guy's grandchildren. They're going to hear about the time granddad killed a shark barehanded for the rest of their lives.

#10 BH >> Yeah, sorta like when I tell my kids about the time I single handedly destroyed an Iraqi Armor Battalion with nothing but my dog tags and P-38 can opener. I still get the eye rolling routine.

.....Never under estimate the power of the dog tags and the P-38 can opener........
