Peter Benchley came face to face with a Great White Shark in the Caribbean, at which point the shark promptly defecated all over him (true story!).

That picture is real...I've seen 3 other pics from the same scene but just in different shots and angles. That's real man

As you can see the host site didn't like all the hits scubaboard was causing against their server so they replaced the shark and kayak JPG image with this tongue sticking out green face image. I always love when sites pull this kind of thing ... like it will reduce traffic on their site anyway.

I assume that green face comes from the link in the original post because the link I posted to the article is still valid.

The article and the pic in question can still be viewed at http://www.whitesharktrust.org/pages/mediaarticle/media25.html

When people used to ask me that Kim I always said, "there are no perfectly good airplanes." It's true...

I have over 10,000 hours in airplanes and no major malfunction and no desire to jump out of one. Maybe one day I will get one tenth that many dives in. I am working on it. Only 9960 more to go.
