While my camera isn’t quite as expensive as the Canon 5D, I’m constantly worried I’m going to ruin it on one of my fishing trips. If you own a nice camera, this video is going to be painful to watch!

Thanks Craig!

Don’t Kiss Sharks, They’re Really Not That in to You

Jonathon Marshall — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 22:11:09 +0000

Seriously, don’t do it! You’ll find out why after this video (as if you didn’t already know), but be warned some of it’s very graphic.

Dave Marcel is an experienced deep-sea diver and shark lover. On routine diving tours, he likes to attract the generally-docile nurse shark over, and invites people to give them hugs and kisses. Aww. Only this time he went for the lips. And then the obvious happens.

Obvious indeed.

RIP Macho Man Randy Savage

Clive Mathias — Fri, 20 May 2011 23:11:07 +0000

His name was Randall Mario Poffo, but if you were a wrestling fan in the 80s, he is simply known as the one and only Macho Man.

November 15, 1952 – May 20, 2011

Macho Man began wrestling in the WWF in 1985 and became a superstar with his trademark catchphrase “Ooooooh Yeaahhhhh.” Savage was so popular, he became the spokesperson for Slim Jim in the mid ’90s … and became virtually synonymous with the brand.

UPDATE: Florida Highway Patrol tells TMZ … Savage was driving his 2009 Jeep Wrangler when he veered across a concrete median … through oncoming traffic … and “collided head-on with a tree.”

Savage was transported to Largo Medical center, where he died from his injuries.

Savage’s wife was a passenger in the vehicle during the collision — but survived with “minor injuries.” She was transported to a different local hospital where she was treated.

Boston’s Big Picture- Japan’s Crisis: One Month Later

Jonathon Marshall — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 16:56:21 +0000

It’s now been a month since the massive destruction that struck Japan. Thousands of people dead or missing, thousands more displaced by the tsunami and radiation, and the rest of the world watches with bated breath. Boston’s Big Picture has put together some of the best most emotional photos we’ve seen thus far.

Japan is just in the beginning of the long term recovery effort from the earthquake that struck off northeastern Japan on March 11. The crisis alert level from the damage to the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant has now been raised to the highest level of impact, the same as the Chernobyl Russia incident 25 years ago. Searchers continue to look for the dead, displaced Japanese live in shelters, protests continue over use of nuclear power, Japan’s economic engine may be disrupted, the massive cleanup of debris is just underway, aftershocks are feared and many continue to mourn those who were lost. The photos collected here are from one month to the day of the quake and beyond. — Lloyd Young (36 photos total)

Lost Containers Find New Life

Jonathon Marshall — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 13:03:52 +0000

I’ll bet you didn’t know that 10,000 shipping containers are lost every year. That’s more than one an hour and an estimated 6 million lost worldwide! But what happens to this containers? Turns out not many people even bother looking, but the Monterrey Bay National Marine Sanctuary (MBARI) sent a robotic sub to investigate a shipping container it lost over 7 years ago. Turns out they found it, and they also found something spectacular.

The shipping container has become a sort of reef half buried in the ocean floor and hosting a variety of aquatic life. MBARI plans to continue investigating other drowned containers, using the $3.25 million dollars it won in a suit against the cargo ship that lost the container originally, and hopes to learn more about the possible ecological danger of the lost containers.

OK, Who Invited The Shark Onboard?

Jonathon Marshall — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 23:20:52 +0000

Now here is a shark story I can really get onboard with *rimshot*! Steven Prejean and crew were fishing in Freeport, Texas early Monday morning when the unexpected happened. The three men were cleaning fish on their boat and discarding waste into the water when a 375-pound Mako shark jumped in to the boat!

Yahoo! News Photos.

Luckily nobody was hurt, other than the shark and the boat I guess. It could have turned out much worse, as you may recall this happened with a barracuda leaping out of the water and injuring a 14 year old girl.
