Very brave or stupid? You decide

[Endrik]

I picked brave. If a GW jumped out like that. I can see his mouth...you can't miss it. I'd rub his belly!!

...and there's a picture too prove that awesomeness!!!

Now I remember Bill's tales about his expeditions with Jacques Cousteau to explore Shamu's mouth and getting bukkaked by ink squirting horny octopus.

I stumbled across a few sites that say most shark attacks are due to mistaken identity...

No shit Sherlock?

How `bout the one that was posted above it `Mr Detective Inspector Shark Photo`?

I vote "Stupid".

It's me that eats the fish pie round here, not the other way round.

[Nightbat]

brave would be jumping in with nothing but a knife, then coming back up to show your buds that your twig and berries ARE in fact bigger then the shark's

...stupid would be: not coming back up

Oh yes. Those were the days. Jack and I shared many deep sea adventures. I remember the time when I was held captive for nearly 6 hours by a dozen angry, squirting octopi, armed with nothing more than a deflated puffer fish. That's when I realized in a moment of clarity unleashing The Dark Marsupial. Then the tables turned!

What was stupid was throwing meat in the sea to entice the Shark to come up and take a look in the first place.

White pointers don't just come up and wave their teeth at every passing boat!

This is the very reason I never went cage diving in South Australia. However, the seal colony I used to swim with every so often in Port Phillip Bay (Melbourne) was often visted as the local white pointer burger joint! Once even whilst we were in the water with the seals, I walked on water back to the boat that day, turned out it was only juvenile wp but must have been 10-12' long. Still impressive to see these animals in the wild!

The other notable shark encounter I had was up in Port Douglas where I was helping on a dive boat with a bunch of Jap tourists. About 10 mins before we were due to go in a Tiger shark got an eagle ray about 100 yrds off the boat. After that no-one wanted to go in the water for some reason, so the dive master, an instructor and I went in for an amazing dive and watched the tiger shark enjoy his meal (at a safe distance) leaving all the tourists on the boat with the captain. They missed a rare opportunity to witness the power of nature in all it's awe. Fantastic!

Neither. I vote for "clever" photoshop'ing.

Me a Jack Cousteau fucked a school of orcas in their blow holes. To them, it is an act of love.

When Bill says he's gonna bite your ass, he means it.

[Jack The Riffer]

I'd jump on that shark's back and give him a reacharound.

Holy shit, I just realised what that is with a fucking great bite out of it. That's it, I'm staying on dry land from now on.

Why do these neopren suits always have to be black anyway?
I'd be the one wearing a pink suit, with green and yellow triangles and stuff.
Nothing looks as stupid as being half eaten by a fish...
