Bravery or stupidity?

[sdlehr]

I heard about this on the radio on my way into work and had to check it out. Whatever these people have, bravery or stupidity, or humongous cojones, I don't got it.... This is said to possibly be the largest shark in the ocean....

I saw that.....no way, says I. I'm not being anybody's 260lb Cheezit

You really have to wonder why someone would do that. At some point that shark will go shark. Reminds me of that guy in Alaska who was living with the brown bears.
Good to see that big gal fat and happy though. Truly a masterpiece of evolution

Would have been a brown cloud as soon as my "squid defense" kicked in LOL

Darwin Awards

An "award" given to people who contribute the most to the evolution of humanity by removing their genes from the gene pool. Sometimes given to people who simply sterilize themselves, but most of the recipiants have ended up dead because of their actions.

Basically, the concept is that people kill/injure themselves to the point where reproduction is no longer possible whilst doing something surrealistically stupid. By insuring that their stupid genes to not spread, they ultimately help humanity and thus recieve an award.

Good contender for this years award in the "wildlife category"...

Yeah, that guy was nuts.  The sad part is he got his girlfriend eaten too.

John, have you gained that much weight since we saw each other in Philly a few years ago? You couldn't have been close to 260 then....

as we have a "photo of the month" thread we need a "comment of the month" one

They towed that whale carcass out to sea the first time it washed up but now it is threatening to wash up again and they'll probably have to tow it again.  The weather has been beautiful and there is not the usual Trade Winds to carry it away.  With all the shark publicity, calm weather and a long weekend coming up it will be a terrific time for someone to do something really stupid.  It has mostly been big tigers eating the thing.

Sid, i was prolly 250 when I saw you. Then a ten pound shark decided it was a great idea to swim with me at dinner time

The problem is that shark has friends and will bring them along every couple of years.
