The Cape Town edition... Welcome to my ramblings, if you care to read on, you will sooon find that this is mostly an attempt to record the things I'd want to remember one day but probably wouldn't. This of course is due to my absolutely rubbish memory.

The Non-Fictional Jaws


This may be old news to any Australian reading this, but after the cyclone Larry appeared all over Sky news this morning, I googled Brisbane trying to find out if it had been affected, apparently not. But what I did find, was an interesting story about a recent shark attack in Brisbane.

In no way do I mean to be insensitive to the victim, but did you know that the site of the attack 'Amity point' shares its name with the fictional setting in Spielbergs epic Jaws? That’s just an accident waiting to happen.

The woman attacked, was savaged by not just one, but several bull sharks who during mating season are apparently extremely aggressive.

“If we found them I suppose we would try to retrieve them and see if they have any body parts," said Queensland police inspector Ray Harding
Do you think this guy’s watched Jaws one too many times?
