    Uh, maybe it died from being washed up on the beach?
  • TBickle77, on 07/15/2009, -0/+15Cause of death?

    Probably choked on all the guido hair gel that drifted over from the hamptons. Poor little guy. :(
  • CrankMyBlueSax, on 07/14/2009, -0/+13Nah, it was pining for the fjords.
  • dicer999, on 07/15/2009, -0/+12I thought that this was going to be a story about a shark with 24 feet washing on a beach.

    I leave unsatisfied.

  • theartfuldodgr, on 07/15/2009, -1/+3I feel your pain, I live in NJ and we have the same problem. We are definitely at the epicenter of the gudio plague. What's worse is now it's past just Italians and has infected everyone from Asians to Hispanics. Yes, we have Asian and Hispanic guidos now. It's getting pretty bad.

    Umm, it washed ashore, did they expect the shark to stay alive out of the water? Great journalism!

  • Krekko, on 07/15/2009, -4/+1I was really drunk when I saw this last night, drunk enough for it to have seemed like some crazy dream, hell I think it even was in my dream. Glad to see I was not dreaming... err making this up in my head.

    But at any rate, this thing's size is done no justice with that picture, the video really made me surprised by it's sheer size. Dugg for massive dead sharks.

  • novenator, on 07/15/2009, -7/+2slightly OT, but always entertaining:
