Live shark lands in golf course - Polidicks

[quote][img]http://www.rawstory.com/rs/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Leopard-shark-that-fell-from-sky-via-AFP-615x345.jpeg[/img] Things don’t always land where they’re supposed to on a fairway, but the shark that mysteriously appeared near the 12th tee of a California golf club seems to have been the result of a birdie. The 2-foot (60 cm) leopard shark is thought to have been picked up by an osprey off the nearby Pacific coast and dropped as the bird flew over the San Juan Hills Golf Club south of Los Angeles, club officials said Thursday. “One of our on-duty marshals was making his rounds and noticed something wriggling in the grass on our number 12 tee,” Director of Club Operations Melissa McCormack told AFP, recounting Monday’s incident. “After going over to investigate, he realized it was a small shark. He promptly placed it in the back of his golf cart and brought it to the clubhouse.” McCormack, who snapped a picture, said the fish had what appeared to be bite marks which made them think it was dropped from a bird’s beak. They decided to rush it back to the ocean, five miles (8 km) away. “We placed it in water and knew we had to get it to the ocean immediately. One of our cart attendants offered to bring it down to the beach in Dana Point where it was released. “After placing it in the water, it was still for a moment before flipping around and swimming off. We believe it got to the golf course by way of osprey because there were puncture wounds with fresh blood under the dorsal fin. “Our proximity to the ocean and the fact that both leopard sharks and osprey are common to the area also support that theory,” she added.[/quote] [url]http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/10/26/birdie-drops-live-shark-on-us-golf-course/[/url]

It looks so sad in that picture. Cool that it survived, though.

Sharks are so cool

Suddenly SHARKS

dude it just wanted to play some golf with you

Ospreys, that's what they want you to believe. It was clearly Shark recon collecting intel for the ensuring landshark invasion.

A shark should land in Garry's office.

Flying sharks? Well I guess that's that.

Oh, it was just 2 feet. I was expecting some flying Jaws-sized shark.

I notice a distinct lack of lasers. I smell a government coverup.

Why didn't they eat it to prove their dominance over sharks.

Another thing that got forgotten was the fact that against all probability a leopard shark had suddenly been called into existence several miles above the surface of an alien planet. And since this is not a naturally tenable position for a shark, this poor innocent creature had very little time to come to terms with its identity as a shark before it then had to come to terms with not being a shark any more. This is a complete record of its thoughts from the moment it began its life till the moment it ended it. Ah … ! What’s happening? it thought. Er, excuse me, who am I? Hello? Why am I here? What’s my purpose in life? What do I mean by who am I? Calm down, get a grip now … oh! this is an interesting sensation, what is it? It’s a sort of … yawning, tingling sensation in my … my … well I suppose I’d better start finding names for things if I want to make any headway in what for the sake of what I shall call an argument I shall call the world, so let’s call it my stomach. Good. Ooooh, it’s getting quite strong. And hey, what’s about this whistling roaring sound going past what I’m suddenly going to call my head? Perhaps I can call that … wind! Is that a good name? It’ll do … perhaps I can find a better name for it later when I’ve found out what it’s for. It must be something very important because there certainly seems to be a hell of a lot of it. Hey! What’s this thing? This … let’s call it a tail – yeah, tail. Hey! I can can really thrash it about pretty good can’t I? Wow! Wow! That feels great! Doesn’t seem to achieve very much but I’ll probably find out what it’s for later on. Now – have I built up any coherent picture of things yet? No. Never mind, hey, this is really exciting, so much to find out about, so much to look forward to, I’m quite dizzy with anticipation … Or is it the wind? There really is a lot of that now isn’t it? And wow! Hey! What’s this thing suddenly coming towards me very fast? Very very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like … ow … ound … round … ground! That’s it! That’s a good name – ground! I wonder if it will be friends with me? And the rest, after a sudden wet thud, was silence.

Reminds me of when they found a shark in the woods near here. [img]http://media.treehugger.com/assets/images/2011/10/shark-in-forest.jpg[/img]

Haha this was just a few miles from me. I heard about it this morning fuckin sharks man

if it's not endangered, we could fish there and make food for the poor.

[QUOTE=darkedone02;38201324]if it's not endangered, we could fish there and make food for the poor.[/QUOTE] Sharks aren't really the best food thing because of their sexual maturing age and gestation periods. More of a cultural identity cuisine than a good thing to feed the poor with. Not to mention leopard sharks are already commercially fished, and only exist on one coastline on the planet.

But how do we jump the shark, if the shark jumps us?

I was hoping for something more like this: [url]http://xkcd.com/585/[/url]

They should've sent it to a vet to have those marks healed before being sent back to the ocean.
