Sharks Seen Swimming Down Australian Streets

As if the flood waters weren't bad enough for the people of Queensland, it now appears that there are sharks swimming in the streets. Two bull sharks were spotted swimming past a McDonald’s in the city of Goodna, Butcher Steve Bateman saw another making its way past his shop on Williams street. Ipswich councillor for the Goodna region Paul Tully said: "It would have swam several kilometres in from the river, across Evan Marginson Park and the motorway. It’s definitely a first for Goodna, to have a shark in the main street."

Why?

So one person reports (unconfirmed) two bull sharks in flood waters. Local media the next day generally has the opinion the story is a load of bollocks and now almost a week later it appears on Slashdot (a news for nerds site) as fact.... OK.

If you want some (slightly) more nerdy stuff to report about the floods go research the Wivenhoe dam.

I've really got to stop reading idle stories.

PHFT! Nothing new!

Seriously, I've lived in Australia all my life, and I can tell ya', there's always been sharks swimming in the streets!

Blimey, if I had a 2 dollar coin for every time I've seen a shark swimming in the streets, I'd be a billionaire! (1 billion AUD ~ 23,540 USD)

We got it all down here, land sharks, flying snakes, drop bears, bunyips, flys that bite, the worlds most poisonous spiders. Basically, if it's an animal that can kill you, we've got it. Crikey, we even import dangerous animals from other countries, just to make sure we've got 'em!

Land sharks? Phft! Nobodies ever died from a land shark!

Now drop bears, that's a lethal animal. I lost my father to a drop bear, came out of no where. R.I.P. Dad.
