So what is the story behind the shot? Izzit some kind of "fakie" digital magic? Is it a (relatively) harmless whale shark? Catfish on steoids? Science experiment gone wrong?
When will the evil stop, Ward?
I'm not sure June, there must be someone who knows......

The picture is real, but it is not a shark. Here is the link. http://www.snopes.com/photos/surfer.asp

Right you Photoshop Tecchies,I want to see the surfer turned into an RT rider and the shark becomes a predatory VW..Close call huh?

I knew it was a good guy the minute I saw it. Dorsal fin,and tail didn't match old Nicodemus. I did see a Tiger Shark* that scared the poop outa me (well almost) once. Darn thing must have been 9 feet long! Was just gliding along beside the ship while we were going into port in Pusan,South Korea.

*For all of you water skiers, the Tiger Shark will inhabit fresh water rivers. Back in the 1970's one was caught North of Cario,Illinois on the Mississippi River. OOoooooooo

bet the surfer had to scoop out his wetsuit.
One time I stepped on a skate or ray. even though I didn't get stung, it freaked me out enough to keep me out of the ocean for the rest of the day.
I hiked up my skirt and yelled "Mommy" before diving in the pool at the hotel.

I thought that was a bull shark. Those buggers are well known for their fresh water habits - and fondness for biting.
