Real life mega shark nearly chews through smaller shark in Australia

October 26, 2009 @ 10:11 pm

See that image above with the shark who has a bite mark right through the center? Well, that’s the so-called “smaller” shark in this news story which is gaining headlines in Queensland, Australia at the moment where summer temperatures are just getting underway (which means more people are starting to hit the beaches).

Apparently, the mega shark, estimated to be about 6 meters long, took ONE bite out of a 3-meter-long shark that was caught in a baited drum line and nearly cut that shark in half.

Here’s the news story from 7 News (below).

This is the craziest thing I’ve seen all day. On Thursday morning in Melbourne, Australia, a woman’s stroller carrying her 6-month-old baby slipped directly into the path of an oncoming train. The stroller and the baby were both pushed about 40 meters down the track and miraculously the baby only suffered a small bump to the head. Watch the surveillance footage from the train stop above.

After the Sydney dust storm two weeks ago, Derek Powazek quickly contacted some of the photographers behind the amazing photos he was seeing and invited them to be a part of Strange Light, a MagCloud magazine that shows what people saw during Australia’s worst dust storm in over 70 years.

Strange Light is still available right now for just $6, a cheap price to pay for a tangible copy of so many marvelous photos.

Who at Kraft Foods Inc. (Australia) was smoking crack when they announced to the entire country that a new product based off of the Australian food staple, Vegemite, was going to be named “iSnack 2.0″?

Apparently, the company had no idea that Australians would be very unforgiving about the stupid naming idea and after much uproar about the new name, Kraft Foods Australia has decided to pull the product from shelves. Hopefully, they won’t be renaming it again any time soon.
