LOL.. I guess I won't be buying stock in that company!
Okay, I'll bite. Why is everyone flapping their Jaws? I just read the tail end of this story and don't want to make waves around my piers but holy mackerel I've had it up to my gills with these researchers. I may just keel over and have to go see my dock. They are dingy. They otter be more careful if they harbor any doubts and seal things properly. The investors will certainly be crabby now but don't expect them to clam up since their stock is already under water and floundering. How shell fish can they get? Looks like they may have missed the boat and won't make a splash.
time out does not work with sharks either.
predators; 2, 4 and no leg, are not our misunderstood friends.
they like to kill people. its not a terrible misunderstanding
well wait a minute. I think it worked. The shark ate it, and not the surfer!
Good point.. but the device was supposed to REPEL the shark.
Maybe they ought to feed those sharks some decent food down there. That shark must have been REALLY hungry to eat a surfboard!
