I'm thinking of getting Henry and Ezra one as a pet

I will be honest with you and admit that aside from penguins and wombats, my favourite creatures tend to be bloodthirsty killers. Thus, I am thinking of getting the lads either a crocodile or great white shark for Christmas. I mean really, isn’t this guy a cutie?



If you’re a shark freak out type like me, you might like to check out this collection of images and links from Dark Roasted Blend. It’s well worth a few minutes browsing.

Gosh - one way to keep them in line I guess. Sit down and do your homework or you can feed the tiger shark with a teaspoon!!!

I'm more into big brown eyes and waggy tags and soft fur puppies, kittens & donkeys! - although I do love elephants!!

BTW After looking at the photos on that blog - i won't be getting in the water for months - THANKS!!!!

Okay, that's enough, thanks. I've only ever snorkeled out over "open water" once. That is to say, I couldn't see the bottom, just aqua sea murk. The thought of a shark looming up to take your head off never goes away, at least until the false security of seeing the bottom again. I may have to whip out my copy of Finding Nemo again.

A greenland shark and a megamouth shark - who knew such creatures existed.

(oh yeah, and I liked what Danial said!)

It's much, much, MUCH safer to get them something like a boa constrictor. ;-)

hehe, he's cute, look at that toothy grin. One of our star soccer players, Lucas Radebe has the nickname "smiley", so I vote Lucas for the boy!

Jules, sharks are just misunderstood. They need to be hugged more.

Uselaine, snorkelling is great fun. Some people snorkel with seals down here in Tasmania, and they are the ones who get eaten by Great Whites! Tip; keep away from their food, lest they get confused.

Aigars, I have given it great thought. I still reckon that they are safer than pit bulls.

Danial, spot on!

FF, there are some sharks that are prettier than others, that’s for sure.

EGTG, I am far more afraid of snakes than sharks. Go figure!

Suzi-k, you live in one of the world’s best places to go and dive with a Great White. Maybe you could go and pick one up for me? ;)

Hold me now, oh hold me now, until this hour has gone around. And I'm gone on the rising tide, to face Van Dieman's Land

Theme Thursday again, and this one is rather easy. I am Tasmanian, you see, and aside from being all around general geniuses - as I have amply described previously - we are also very familiar with the concept of WATER. Tasmania is the ONLY island state of an ISLAND continent. That means, we're surrounded by WATER. That should help explain why I take so many photographs of water . Tasmania was for a long time the place where the British (an island race terrified of water) sent their poor people most vile and horrid criminals. The sort of folk who would face the stark choice of a death sentence , or transportation to the other end of the world. Their catalogue of crimes is horrifying : stealing bread assault stealing gentlemen's handkerchiefs drunken assault being poor affray ladies being overly friendly with gentlemen for money hitting people having a drink and a laugh public drunkenness being Irish Fenian terrorist activities being Catholic religious subversion. ...

Something unpleasant is coming when men are anxious to tell the truth.

This is the moon. Have I mentioned how much I adore the zoom on my camera? It's Theme Thursday you see, and after last week's limp effort, I have been thinking about how I might redeem myself. Then I clicked on the topic and discover that it was BUTTON. We've been hearing a lot about the moon in the past couple of weeks. Apparently some fellas went up there and played golf and what-not forty-odd years ago. The desire to get to the moon, however, was not simply about enhancing opportunities for Meg and Mog titles and skirting local planning by-laws in the construction of new and innovative golf courses. No, all of your Sputniks , "One small steps" and freeze dried ice cream was about one thing , and one thing only : MAD Now, I don't mean mad in terms of "bloke breaks record for number of scorpions he can get up his bum", no I mean MAD as in Mutual assured destruction . When I was a young man you see, there was a lot of talk about the type of m...

But when the strong were too weak to hurt the weak, the weak had to be strong enough to leave.

Can you believe that it is time for Theme Thursday already? Today we are not talking chocolate , toddlers , mess or ignominy . No, today we're dealing with ANIMAL . Now I could have posted a picture of a possum, numbat, wombat, wallaby or any other furry killing machine that roams our fair isle, but I figure that I'd use a far more deadly creature as an example of an animal . Some people - I know them as fools - have chosen to embrace that highfalutin idea that human beans are for some ungodly reason superior to animals. Of course, what these imbeciles seem to forget is that were are simple animals ourselves ! Anyone with a baby, toddler, teenage boy or Queenslander in their household could tell you this. Look at Henry [above]. One chocolate frog in the back of the car on a sunny day and all of a sudden it's Elagabalus meets Bacchus for a quick shandy in the Serengeti and we're down on all fours carrying on like a cat in heat. Fair dinkum, anyone who chooses to ...
