#1 That's one fortunate Aussie. Now that we have identified the feeding ground, let's get that wild eyed SOB imam out for a boat ride.

#2 Umm..."nine-metre (30ft) deep ", I guess those of us from the klick generation (1 klick=1000 meters)
kinda know what a meter is.

Meter, that's the thing on the post you put money into so they won't tow your car away, right?

#5 Anyone who took a science course can do the conversion. But clearly the British readers of the Times are still working on it.

#10 Well, this reminded me of that GREAT inline job by the Esteemed Site Owner (sucking noises) :

Just Your Typical Aussie

(follow up, sort of).

Btw, search for "shark" in the archive, there are about 133+ entries, including kids hanging from meathooks, family of cut-in-half surfers pleading for not kiling the shark,... Busy lil' critters, aren't they?

After all these years someone needs to own up to that comment, it's a double-extra-bogus Muck4Doo imitator.
