In the interests of balance we expect to see an APOD featuring “Sharks”.
After reading the title, I expected something from Transformers. Not sure why. Probably “jet” and “galaxy” being used together.
sigh kids…
When you’re a Jet,
You’re a Jet all the way
From your first cigarette
To your last dyin’ day.
More Sharks Spotted Close to Shoreline of New York Beach
More sharks were spotted Wednesday close to the shoreline of New York’s Long Island, a day after authorities closed the beach to swimmers because the 18-foot sharks were seen lurking near the water’s edge.
West Hampton Dunes Police Sgt. Tim Turner had received reports of sharks in the water on southeastern Long Island at around 3 p.m. Tuesday. There were about 50 people on the beach at the time.
Of course the general populace can’t be expected to know this without looking it up, but if those are indeed Threshers then aside from the highly unusual daytime sighting (Threshers tend to be nocturnal), they are fish-eaters and cannot have accounted for the seal remains reported, and being timid of humans (and having teeth too small to tackle large prey anyway), pose little real danger unless provoked. We’d probably taste bad to them in the unlikely event of getting bit, and you’re more likely to sustain serious injury being whacked by that tail distinctive of Threshers.
That being said, I think I’d hold off from taking a dip just in case. Besides, there’s that seal carcass: that sort of thing is more indicative of the possible presence of Great Whites.
do you have a lot of problems with them in Minneapolis?
Round my way, we have a lot of trouble with boar. Just thought you’d like to know …
droll boars?
Not at all.
They’re best suited to a nonurban habitat.
Swines, they are, too.
They’ve been known to take an arm or two in the past.
farming is dangerous, not overly exciting but…
When I chased geese it was fun. Driving that massive IH 4X4 slip-sliding through a muddy field of freshly sprouted winter wheat, or rye, or barley to protect those crops from nasty marauding geese. I’m telling ya I protected some grain fer them farmers.
I would think that chasing geese in a IH 4X4 would be much safer than on foot. 
Unlike we, who have the right to bear arms, but get arrested if we shoot the bear.
Bear arms:
Not if ya do it during the open season, but if you miss the first shot they’ll charge!
Getting into animal puns, eh? Hmph. Party animals.
