I agree. Rocky is a unusual name, but I would prefer that to Shark myself.

One more weird name, I promise!

Anyway, they brought the shark aboard the boat and thought it was dead. They could see a hook in it's mouth when they held the jaws open, so one of the guys decided to reach in and get the hook out.

At this point, the shark turned out to be quite alive. :sweat: It tried to bite down on the guy's hand. His friends had to pry the jaws open to get him out.

Sticking your hand into the mouth of a shark you just hauled out of the ocean, without even checking to see if it was really dead? :sweat: That's just nuts.
Darwin awards, anyone? It's a wonder some people survive in daily life!

The sad part is that sort of thing with sharks happens much more than people know.

At least they've got a normal name in there somewhere. But "Special K"? Did they want to name the kid after their favorite cereal? :?

Ha! That must be embarrassing for them. It's a pity that they only have to wear it for one day. A week would get the point across better. :D

That site is an interesting idea. I can't decide if I like the concept or not. On the one hand, it could be useful when moving to a new neighborhood. On the other, I definitely wouldn't want to see something about myself on such a site. :?

I think Gizoogle might be a sign of the apocalypse. Warning to anyone checking it out; it seems to find cursing to be necessary on every page.

Well, that's just nutty. I know this is just another form of trying to control religion, but seriously. How do they think they're actually going to stop anyone from being reincarnated? :?
