That was kind of alarming until I finally figured out that it's not Washington they're talking about with WA... Whew.

Not as big a fish, but I still wouldn't want to meet her in chest deep water.



edit. BTW they tagged her in shallow water of Jax Beach, Fl and her last ping yesterday was in the middle of the Atlantic, if you check their tracking website.

She's heading for the Riviera for some high dollar snacks this summer.

5 meters not big enough pepper? biggrin

The Jaws shark was supposed to be 25 foot long, or 8 meters, but not sure if that's for real.

Even 5 meters will weigh a coupla tons, like an elephant. Big enough for most folk.

Any surer now?

Oh.... and for years there was a persistent story of a 36 foot great white carcass that was found. Who really knows what's hanging around those mid ocean seamounts?

Anyone remember the Carol Burnett Jaws spoof with the shark in the sewer pipes eating people in the tub or on the can?
