What amazes me is that that photograph is real! I'll have to do a search again but I can assure the naysayers out there that it's legit.

(Interesting 'legit' rhymes with what I'd be doing if I was in the kayak!)

BTW, i was reviewing the 'interests' sections in the profiles here and it certianly is amazing how many folks include 'boating'. small world.

Hey Tomcat - funny how so many of us are boaters...who'd have thought it! I considered including "Drinking" and "Checking out hot women" - but then "Boating" covers all that and more...

And for those looking for more about the shark, here's the Snopes.com reference with a link to the article:

The first picture is made from 2 photo's. It's blurred where the two meet. It's really obvious in other versions of the picture.

If you look at the pictures in the link it's clear that this is scanned from a magazine. So I'm going with the theory that the picture is real and the two facing pages of the magazine are poorly registered (lined up).

(That's my story and I'm sticking to it...)

Hmmm.....You could be correct.
