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).

Want to have a big drink with 3 other friends? Then buy this set of 4 1-Liter beer mugs
If you want a big drink with 11 friends however, you’ll need to buy this case of 12 1-Liter beer mugs
Do I even need to tell you that this is a good deal?

Wow, seriously? A box this big to fit another box the size of the shipping label? What a waste of space.
