In a real-life version of Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus,  two colossal beasts squared off in the Pacific Ocean near Queensland, Australia.  However, unlike the movie, this wasn’t a Mega Shark versus a Giant Octopus.  This was a Mega Shark versus a slightly smaller shark.  Like the movie, this fight to the finish was caught on camera.

The 10-foot shark was caught on a fishing expedition.  The 20-foot monster great white shark saw an easy opportunity for a snack, and bit his brother shark nearly in half in one bite!  Australia has had anti-shark netting in place since 1962, and this Jaws-sized monster shark so near the beach is a good reason as to why that net is still there.  Amazingly, the bitten shark was still alive when it was reeled in, but odds are not for long given that his torso is nearly bitten in twain.

For the record, Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus isn’t that bad, considering it’s a SyFy channel movie.  It’s horribly cheesy, but it’s that “so bad it’s good” kind of cheese.  I recommend it for any fan of terrible movies.

It’s just not safe to enjoy yourself anymore, between […]

This will be the last Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to ever be on an airplane.  After all, the phone has been pulled from shelves and pockets all around the world, because the phones tend to, uh… catch fire and/or explode.  It’s not a laughing matter if you’re flying over the Rocky Mountains with one in […]

The Red Cross is a wonderful organization.  When there’s trouble, the Red Cross is there setting up shelters and handing out food and water.  The Red Cross is normally very sensitive to the community needs around them, to boot.  However, sometimes, something will slip through the cracks that just looks wrong.  One of these things is […]

One of the most famous features of Matt Groening’s fictional town of Springfield is a strange one.  Springfield is home to a giant, perpetually burning tire fire.  I guess considering the town also has a nuclear plant that routinely leaks glowing green waste into the town’s water supply, the tire fire isn’t such a big […]

Gas prices don’t usually go down.  They go up.  Gas prices rose for decades, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but always up on a long enough timeline.  Not long ago, $4 a gallon for gas was a very real proposition.  Nobody thought prices would go in the other direction, and yet… gas prices are going down […]

Fashion designers look for inspiration everywhere.  Some of it is pop culture, like Friday the 13th-inspired hoodies.  Other fashions are inspired by low culture, like deluxe Snuggies.  Some people turn to the culture of their past for inspiration, like the 8-bit video games they grew up on.  Italian fashion house Moschino is partnering with Nintendo […]
