A friggin' huge shark

"I have to admit after being down in a sub and spending time looking at video feeds from ROV's, the crazy animals I see from the deep start to become commonplace. That is why the below video is absolutely off the freakin' hook! Dr. Eric Vetter was in a submersible off the coast of Moloka'i when a 6-gill shark, at an estimated 17ft, swam within feet of the sub." - Deep Sea News

  1. Wow, did I really just read that correctly? Did you really just say "Off the freakin' hook"? Wow, this one is going in the record books.

  2. No, I didn't. It was a quote from Deep Sea News. I have only ever been in a submarine twice in my life, and one was on the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride at Disneyland which doesn't really count because you're on a track and you can see the surface of the water.

    As far as the other submarine goes, that's classified.

  3. Ahh, now that I go back and review the statement I see the quotation marks, I must have subconciously omitted them in hopes that you were attempting to become part of the new hip in-crowd. I now see that I was mistaken, sorry.

  6. I'm sharked by you post. Also my captcha is kgisxypi. I would pronounce it but it would probably offend you.

    Mildred - I dunno...that sturgeon was off the freakin' hook. Wait...
