Adam Fisk hooked an 11-foot hammerhead shark near the coast line and ended being towed for 12 miles, which were covered in about two hours. According to Fisk, the shark ate a 5-pound bonito from his kayak. Another hammerhead was following him too.

Summer is coming to a quick close as Labor Day weekend is nearly upon us, which means you soon won’t be able to head down to your local beach, lake or pool and take a quick dip as it’ll the temperatures will start to dip very soon. Although if you live in the southern part of the U.S., you can completely disregard that last sentence as it’s pretty much party time for you any time of the year. Which is exactly why you need this real-time shark tracker more than any of us. (more…)

It started out as a joke, but Shark Pony and the Glitter Riders sounds like a pretty amusing concept for a comic if you ask me. And while the comic itself looks hilarious, this plush creation by RoboShark that goes with it is what really caught my eye.
The comic follows “4 Dude Bros who steal a spaceship and are transformed into 3 Magical Girls and a Sharkpony.” That’s more than enough for me to want more.
If you want to see what happens to Sharkpony and his posse, you’ll need to pledge at least $5 on Indiegogo for the first issue of the comic, and you’ll have to pony up 300 smackeroos if you want one of the three limited-edition plushes.
Some images need little in the way of introduction. This one shows a soldier climbing a rope ladder attached to a helicopter above infested waters. Soldier. Rope ladder. Helicopter. Sharks. Wow.

When it comes to your kitchen knives, you shouldn’t mess around. You want them sharp enough to cut cans. Because you never know when you might need to cut a can. It could happen. Anyway, the best way to sharpen a knife is obviously with shark teeth.
This ceramic shark knife sharpener is a shark head in the style of the JAWS poster and has an anti-slip base so you don’t end up as so much chum and attract others. This is an awesome design – both funny and smart.
Best of all it is only $25(USD) from Fancy, if you want it on your kitchen counter. Only trust a shark to get the sharpest edge on your knives.

I don’t know about you, but there is just something crazy about the idea of sharks carrying laser guns on their back. As though these lean and mean underwater predators are not deadly enough on their own, imagine what would happen when they are endowed with the “gift” of a laser beam which can be fired at will via attached backpacks near their fin? The thought is definitely scary, and while it might exist in some fictional worlds, Thinkgeek has decided to bring it over to this side of reality with the $14.99 Shark With Frickin’ Laser Pointer.
Good thing this shark is small enough to hold in your hand, and it has been tamed – so much so that it does not bite, but the laser bit of it is what interests us and justifies a purchase by anyone who wants to make an impression at his or her presentation, without actually looking too childish. Sporting a Class 1 laser, the Shark With Frickin’ Laser Pointer is powered not by pounds of human flesh or sea lions, but rather, a trio of 1.5v LR44 which thankfully has been included with each purchase to help you get started right out of the box.

Have you ever wanted a home aquarium, but were afraid your fish would end up dead due to neglect (or the cat?) Well, now you can have a little robotic swimmer who never needs anything more than a change of batteries.
Made by the guys behind the creepy, crawly Hexbug robots, Aquabots are little robotic fish which wriggle realistically through the water. Just drop them in the water, and they’ll swim around on their own. They automatically turn on when they come in contact with water – though they’ll only swim for five minutes at a time to conserve battery.
While the video below shows several Aquabots swimming in harmony, it’s not advised because big fish eat little fish their electromagnetic propulsion systems can interfere with one another. Though what’s the worst that could happen?
They come in either a shark or clown fish designs, in a wide variety of translucent colors, so you can see into their robotic guts as they swim around. You can find Aquabots over at Red5 for £7.95 (~$12 USD) each.
LEGO master Iain Heath rides the gigantic Internet wave carved by SyFy’s too bad to be fake Z-movie. Really though, concepts like that should only come from a child’s doodles and never go beyond this level. A LEGO toy. Perhaps a web comic. Maybe an animated short. It could work as an online series. Oooor…
Yeaaaah no. This is enough for me.
