Visitors to Kelly Tarlton’s Underwater World, a popular aquarium and animal park in Auckland, New Zealand, got to witness a gristly miracle.  A shark was bitten on the side by another shark.  To the surprise of horrified visitors, baby sharks started to emerge from the gaping wound in the female’s side.   Apparently, nobody kenw that she was pregnant, or that the bite of another shark could act as an impromptu Cesarean section.  Fortunately, mother and babies are all doing fine.

Wildlife experts believe the shark bit the female in a deliberate attempt to force her to give birth to the babies.  Had the mother shark given birth naturally during the night, the shark pups would have been eaten by other sharks or attacked and killed by stingrays that inhabited the shark tank.  The fact that the shark was bitten in just the right place, and not just bitten in half, suggests that it was a deliberate shark surgery.

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]
