Sharks in the water??? It can't be..can it?
A professional diver working in the harbour at the French Riviera port of Saint-Tropez saw a large shark swim by him three times over the weekend, local newspaper Var-Matin reported on Monday
Nicolas Faucon told the newspaper he was underwater untangling the anchor chains of boats moored at Saint-Tropez, a glitzy Mediterranean holiday spot, when a two-metre-long (6 foot) shark glided past him at arm's length. "A shark passed by 50cm (20 inches) from me. I am 100 per cent sure of it," Faucon told the paper, as tens of thousands of French holidaymakers descended upon Riviera beaches for the start of the annual August vacation. "It didn't seem aggressive. It looked at me, and then changed direction," Faucon said. Riviera holidaymakers include President Nicolas Sarkozy and his pregnant wife Carla Bruni, who arrived on Monday in Cap Negre – an easy swim from Saint-Tropez for a shark. Faucon made a swift exit, but said he saw the shark again when he went back underwater an hour later, and he spotted it again, further away, the following day. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/news...nt-Tropez.html |

I don't see why the French are concerned. It's not like they are ever near water to begin with.

Germans are much like the French in that they bathe once every Saturday whether they need it or not.

According to River Monsters host Jeremy Wade bull sharks have been seen in the Mississippi all the way up to Illinois and have been caught as far north as St. Louis.
They’ve also learned to follow recreational boats and shadow them so when they start reeling in a game fish it makes for an easy shark meal. I’d think that’s bad news for water skiers.

The shark was quoted as saying "Ah, the French. Tastes like chicken."

Don't worry, it wasn't a real shark.
Sharkboy just decided to take a vacation to France and went for a swim at the beach. ![]()

Big deal. I saw 2 this weekend at Jax beach feeding on mullet. Came as close as 50 feet from me. I never stopped surfing!
