Great White Shark Nearly Bitten in Half Off the Coast of Australia

Quote:

A stunning picture shows a 10ft predator thrashing about with two massive chunks missing on either side of its body, off the Queensland coast.

Experts said its rival may be 20ft (about six metres) long, judging by the size of the huge bites.

The great white was savaged after it got snared on a drum line - a baited hook attached to a buoy - near North Stradbroke Island, east of Brisbane.

The wounded creature was still alive when a crew hauled it onto a boat, close to Deadman's Beach.

"It certainly opened up my eyes. I mean the shark that was caught is a substantial shark in itself," Queensland Fisheries' Jeff Krause told Australia's Daily Telegraph.

Swimmers have been warned to stay out of the water near the island.

And other juicy bit about the murderer / hostage taker / lawsuit plaintiff:

Durham made international news for his unusual plea deal in 2006. He agreed to plead guilty in exchange for his favorite foods from KFC and some Haagen-Dazs ice cream.

No more Martin (Mahr-TEEN). It was plain-old Martin. No more Marcos. Now it would be Mark....

...Then Whitten told some employees he was changing their Spanish first names. Whitten says it's a routine practice at his hotels to change first names of employees who work the front desk phones or deal directly with guests if their names are difficult to understand or pronounce.

Oh yes... because "Mahr-TEEN" and Marcos are Soooooooo hard to pronounce :rolleyes:

Jerk.

...and *Yikes* to the Sharky.
