Yeah, talk about conspiracy theories that people pull out of their ... imaginations with no supporting evidence. Maybe he got the idea from an ill-tempered sea bass. They have shark inferiority complex issues, and are really fishy with statistics.
Hahaha I like how there's still a 25% chance it wasn't us. "Maaaayyybe Australia, but PROBABLY America." Are these the same people throwing rocks at tanks? Best news article I've read in a long time.
I'd like to know what kind of shark was hanging out that far inland in a fresh water river. Do they have bull sharks in the Middle East? I thought they were one of the few species that did that besides great whites. (Paging Chris Mah...)
Or, we may not have put the shark there, but we clearly had advanced knowledge from Aquaman, but we did nothing about it hoping to get Haliburton to profit off catching about a dozen of Tigris river striped perch.
I swam with sharks about 2 years ago in the waters off Andros Island in the Bahamas and enjoyed it. The hardest part was jumping into the water when I could see the sharks swimming around the boat I was on. Once I was in the water, they seemed a lot friendlier. In fact, after I was down there with them for a while, I didn't even worry that the sharks were swimming right between me and other divers: they swam within 2 or 3 feet of me and I didn't really notice. Whatever. It was a great life experience. I didn't lose any body parts. Took a great underwater video of the whole experience, and added lots of great music that we left on a DVD at Small Hope resort (one of the 1000 places you should go before you die, according to the book of the same name).
The bull shark is one of the only species that can survive in fresh water and they are some mean SOBs.
