#2 Perhaps tossing back a shark with a predilection for biting waders was not so wise?

#3 It's just gender confusion. The shark feels he's a remora trapped in a shark's body.

#6 So, after being gnawed on by a 3-4 foot nurse shark, the 14 yo kid was treated and released? Must've been a heckuva "abdomen". The shark probably thought he'd latched on to the Sta-Puff marshmallow man.

#7 Nurse sharks are pretty lame as man-eaters...they generally eat snails, urchins, crabs...and have small mouths. The "ax and Jaws-of-life" would do more damage to the kid...truly a great example of brainless journalism hype

#8 OK, the Sun-Sentinel has a picture of Brandon Chapman, and he's as skinny as a rail. Chapman lifted the fish out of the water to show him off to passerby and the shark twisted around and bit him.
