“While Kentucky doesn't have an ocean, it does have aquariums. In 2006, at least 12 people at Kentucky's Newport Aquarium were bitten by sharks while at an exhibit that allows visitors to touch the animals”

Keep in mind that this aquarium is just across the river from the zoo where parents let their kids fall into the gorilla exhibits.

HARAMBE!!!!!

Is this an example of American exceptionalism?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago
[-] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

And yet it's an awesome aquarium and I highly recommend it. Including the 'touch a shark' part.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

It was surprising how sandpaper-ish they feel.

Definitely.

I also want to get the last 3 frames printed on a t-shirt. I have a young daughter, and it amuses me even more since that happened.

I can suspend my disbelief to a point but I have just one question.

Where did the helium come from?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

Electrolysis and then nuclear fusion.

They swim up the Mississipi

People don't realize that Mississippi is an acronym and all of the s's are for 'shark.'

It's hilariously stupid. In 2005 one dude was cleaning an aquarium's shark tank and cut his arm on a passing shark.

Still counts.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

How does one cut one's arm on a passing shark? Sharks are smooth as can be.

Edit: Never mind just read the article and he cut his arm on a tooth while the shark swam past open-mouthed.

Non-midwesterners: surprised

Midwesterners who've had a fear of bull sharks since their friend told them about them when they were 5: see I knew it could happen

Could it be loan sharks?

[-] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

Bull sharks yo

[-] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

The chances of a shark attacking you on dry land are low but never zero!

[-] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

That's just basic quantum physics.

Ah, the elusive lank-shark!

I remember reading the NM one happened in a aquarium, but it is still counted. Bull sharks do travel up the Mississippi River and tributaries and have been reported in IL.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

Just realized New York has a lot of shark attacks unless you're taking about loan sharks where the fuck do you get attacked by a shark in the toxic wasteland that is the entire state every water source is a pond full of garbage and other stuff you really don't want to touch

[-] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

At the New York Aquarium

[-] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Okay, but New Mexico??? We barely have lakes here!

Sharknado motherfucker

[-] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

flying in the air sharks

now that's some kind of horror

[-] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Could it be a zoo? No, that would be too easy

[-] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

Flying street sharks are more likely

[-] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

True, there are more streets than zoos

Sharks Georg, who lives in Missouri with his shark collection, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Bull shark attack in the Ozarks no? At least that is what all the locals claim haha.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

THERE'S A SHARK IN THE BATHTUB
