After reading the article about the real shark found at the Massachusetts beach where Jaws was filmed ( a movie that ruined my summer vacation at St. Petersburg Beach in Florida that year because I didn’t go deeper than 2 feet into the ocean ), I read the related article about a shark being discovered in a swimming pool in Australia. It’s a brief and interesting report found here.
The part that killed me was this quote:
“It’s funny, though, because we have swimmers who come here at 6am every morning to do laps. It’s still dark then and they mustn’t have even noticed it was there.”
Really? This guy thinks it’s funny that those poor unsuspecting folks swam their laps and weren’t gobbled up? Well…since nothing tragic happened, then I guess, yeah, I would have loved to have seen their faces when they discovered it. Unlike that fake picture of the divers with the giant great white behind them, this seems like the real thing.
