Awesome stuff you see on the internet

look, I know it's not nice to laugh at other peoples' misfortune/accidents, and doubly so as they are females, but I bring you this. I'm not sure how I ended up finding it, but I did. Some of these (the less painful ones) are very amusing, as the fairer sex struggle with issues of coordination, timing and balance.<br />

not really 'awesome' but best place for it....the hostess was rather blase about the whole thing...<br />

Hmmmm, my skepticism says that shark vid seems dubious. Either the footage is faked, or it was shot somewhere other than Lake Huron (which is a massive lake, and the first hint about it's authenticity is it's failure to identity a location as being anywhere other than "backyard"). Some small sharks can live in fresh water, and even Great Whites can go a couple miles upstream in creeks and estuaries near salt water, but a trip from the ocean to Lake Huron is a thousand miles and would have to traverse the Lachine Rapids, Lake Ontario, Niagara Falls (or the locks of the Welland Canal), Lake Erie, Lake St. Clair, and the Detroit River ... phew ... just typing all that makes me think there's no bloody way. I call a hoax (or else it's a small lake in Florida). Great Whites swimming in Lake Taupo would be a cakewalk by comparison.

It wasn't a GW it is a Bull Shark apparently. I hope it's fake....I don't want sharks in Taupo thanks. -
unless someone has released it in there when it was alot smaller...Bull Sharks are capable of living in totally fresh water, and well up rivers (watched a Doco about a river in SA where there are a number of them and big, but because they have alot of fish to feed on, at that time, they hadnt attacked humans...)<br />
<br />
But if the only way up the river is as RT states, then you'd think it had to be released, or the vid is a fake... -

I thought I had seen all the episodes of ESPN's 30-for-30 series, but I was mistaken. Yesterday I watched "[b]Catching Hell[/b]," a full-length feature doc from the series by director Alex Gibney (who won an Oscar for Best Doc with "Taxi to the Dark Side").<br />

You don't have to be a baseball fan to appreciate this, I think any sports fan would find it compelling, and in the case of Bartman (-that would be Steve Bartman-) you'd have to be an especially cynical person not to feel a little bit heartbroken for him, because he could be any one of us.<br />

[color=#333333][font=Georgia, Times, 'Liberation Serif', serif][size=4]How excited he must be. He's sitting out there, in Aisle 4, Row 8, Seat 113, nice seats, quality seats. For a regular season game in 2009, that seat runs you about $125 on StubHub. What a gift, really, for a guy like Bartman, a lifelong Cubs fan who cared about his team as much as I care about the Cardinals, as much as any of us care about anything. Bartman was 26 years old, single and working a dull desk job, coaching a youth league team in his spare time. The Cubs were the center of his life. He talked to his father about them all the time. He traveled to their spring training in Mesa. He listened to the game on the headphones, an old school move, a true fan move. It is almost surprising he doesn't have a scorebook. God, he is just like me.[/size][/font][/color]<br />
<br />
[color=#333333][font=Georgia, Times, 'Liberation Serif', serif][size=4]How many years had he listened to Ron Santo ache and moan on the broadcasts, sneaking his walkman into class at Notre Dame, refreshing MLB GameDay on his office computer? He lived three miles away from Wrigley, away from Wrigleyville, where all the pretty people drank away their days and nights, checking out the game in between attempts to talk that girl from Naperville into their one-bedroom just a few blocks away. Those Cubs fans weren't real Cubs fans, not really. The Cubs were just a conversation topic, a phase in life, way back when, when they lived by Wrigley and partied, man, partied until grownup life caught up with them and it was off to Lake Forest, for an easy commute into the city and quality school for the inevitable children. Baseball was fun, it was an excuse to go out, but that's what it is to them. Not Steve. Not Bartman. Not him.[/size][/font][/color]<br />
<br />
[color=#333333][font=Georgia, Times, 'Liberation Serif', serif][size=4]He's serious about this.[/size][/font][/color]<br />
<br />
[color=#333333][font=Georgia, Times, 'Liberation Serif', serif][size=4]He is exactly the type of person who deserves seats in the second row just off the left field foul line, and exactly the type of person who rarely gets them anymore. No one knows how he procured the tickets, if he saved up a bunch of cash for the opportunity to watch the Cubs clinch a trip to the World Series. He wouldn't have been able to afford them, not at his salary, not at his job. He must have waited a long time. He must have felt that this was the year, and stowed away a little money [i]this[/i] week, a little more [i]that[/i] week, hoping this moment would come, preparing. My, how lucky he is! He has front row seats — well, second row — to the most important moment in Cubs baseball in 60 years. He has earned this. He's at the game by himself, for cripe's sake. Only diehards go to baseball games by themselves. Only the ones who truly, deeply care. Only people who think the other 21 hours of the day are just the time in between the first pitch and the last pitch. People like me. People like Bartman.[/size][/font][/color]<br />

Yea, i watched this one on ESPN, it's a funny story, but jesus it got ugly quick didn't it. The fans around him were just fucking dicks. You're right, it's impossible not to feel for the guy.
