Turned on my computer, launched my browser, and found this!!!:

80 Mil. Yr. Old Living Fossil.

This was found off Australia!!! :-)

The last time I encountered news like this was a report off Madagascar when they found a Coelacanth!!! (Found in the 70's/80's...)

Nice one TL ! Yes, that is

Nice one TL ! Yes, that is just a way too ugly sucker ... :-)

I like this bit ( my emphasis ) :

The frilled shark was offered to the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, which identified the bizarre catch, but it declined to take it.


Smooth move there. They should have offered it to Barb Broccoli. I can really see Blofeld stroking one or having a pool full of them. Maybe huge nuclear irradiated mutant versions wrestling a submarine, that sort of thing.

Now since I live only about 100 miles from Lakes Entrance ( been on holiday there in fact ) I should have absolutely no concerns then. But do please watch out for the upcoming summer blockbuster : The Shark That Ate Chum Creek .... :-) :-)

Cheers, Mike.

( edit ) I quite like Greg Kinnear as an actor. Maybe he could play me.

:)))))))) Awwwwwww... none of us would look our best hauled out of our comfort zone and slapped onto a slab for a photograph.

*pensive thought crossing brain* I think I need to do something about my hair - it's creating very odd shadows...

Take care... you know... when swimming there and abouts, Mike :)

Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.
