The link doesn't work... but I assume they'll be in some kind of protective cage when in the tank. Some people get a thrill out of facing sharks like that. I'm not sure why. I guess they really love the ocean.

I fixed the link. Forgot to add the "l" on the end of the html of the link.

And, proceeding onward, here's a ridiculous story of a man being "attacked" by a mounted buffalo head, lol:

On reading that, a part of me wonders if the crash was staged. I mean, it would present a perfect opportunity to act out a zombie skit. Imagine if they climbed out of the car and started asking for brains?

Almost everyone usually has a lot of pennies laying around somewhere, or atleast I know I do.

A man in Quebec, Canada came up with a good way to spend some of his pennies, even though it didn't work out quite the way he wanted it to:

This guy must have been saving up pennies for a very long time to have that many. It's a shame the stunt back fired on him. I don't think there's a law allowing people to refuse any form of legal tender in the US. It's interesting to know that there is one in Canada, though.

It's one of those silly laws that us Canadians have. We have plenty more silly laws that I wish not to discuss at the moment. =D

We don't have laws like that here, but there were a couple of occasions down in england when my money was refused because it had Bank of Scotland printed on it. A bit daft considering it's the same currency and that all I wanted to buy was a bottle of water. And more so because this has never happened to me here at home. I regularly get bank of England notes from the ATM and have no problem turning them over. :D

So, here's a story about this guy who thinks aliens are out to get him just because his house has been struck by meterorites 6 times :

http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/835482-man ... -by-aliens

You know, he may have a point there. The odds of being struck by a meteroite once are very rare, but six times?????

This story makes me hear the old "Twilight Zone" theme song in my mind. :lol:

The comment I read at the bottom:
On behalf of the Council of Planets, I categorically deny all allegations of a space alien conspiracy aimed at Mr Lajic. His neighbor is a different matter entirely. We hate his neighbor and would like him dead. But due to a gravitational anomaly, our aim has been interfered with. We will try again and take this opportunity to apologize in advance for any future damage.Klatu Space Alien Ambassador, Los Angles CA, 28/7/2010 2:14


XD I'm sorry. It made me laugh. But honestly, it is rather peculiar that his house keeps getting assaulted by space.
