Shark? Oy!Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water…here’s a story to cure us all of our appetite for the foreseeable future.

Three sharks were caught in Ashdod by local fishermen. One of them was so big (how big was he) that when the fishermen sliced the sucker open, he had a friggin’ baby dolphin inside him.

Maybe this is just a set of “Nesting Babushka Dolls: Ocean Wildlife Version.” Now I’m wondering what’s inside the dolphin.

The fishermen cut the shark up and passed the pieces on to their colleagues from Gaza, since they said there is no demand for shark meat in Israel.

(And Gaza says we never give them anything…)

In recent years, especially in spring, sightings increase of schools of sharks off Ashdod and Ashkelon, as the sharks seek out the warm water emerging from the power stations at these two cities.

(Plus, with all those kids peeing in the ocean…)

Good news? The sharks are “not aggressive.” Still, say it with me: “I think they’re going to need a bigger boat.”

  • Thanks for the graphic, dude. But it won’t make people read this post…it’s competing with too many other controversially discussable topics.

  • Next time headline it “Sharks having premarital sex; rabbis disapprove” and see if that gets you more comments.
