Jaws has returned to his favorite hunting grounds!

A large great white shark was spotted off the beaches of Martha's Vineyard today, in the same area where the original 1975 blockbuster was filmed. The sighting caused two beaches to be closed, and created quite a panic. No one was hurt, but I doubt people will be swimming for a few days!;)

Here's some articles about the story:

Nice. Twenty-two feet sounds like fisherman's B.S. but it's kind of peculiar how other people think they might have seen a great white shark. Maybe it's just on everybody's minds. I'm going to go watch Jaws.

And here's a weird picture.

Apparently they are saying the whole thing was a hoax now, but I think they just want to keep swimmers in the water and tourists in the town! Sounds familiar huh?

I guess they're just going to ignore this particular problem until it swims up and bites them on the ass!

Mayor Vaughn, you rascal!

Here in Australia we had a 7m(couple inches under 23ft) great white in one of the lakes next to the ocean if I find the story I'll post it :up:
