There's a Shark in the Swimming Pool!
Seriously, folks, this may be my all time #1 (non-egg related) nightmare . . . I'm in a pool, doing a little backstroke, when a shark appears out of nowhere and eats me. I've always told myself it could never, ever happen. There's simply NO WAY a shark could be waiting for me in the deep end. Nobody's ever come face-to-face with a shark in a swimming pool.
AND THEN IT HAPPENED!
A reef shark at a resort in the Bahamas (OMG, I WAS JUST IN THE BAHAMAS!) managed to leap out of the aquarium where it was being kept, onto a waterside, and into a swimming pool. Fortunately, no one was swimming in the pool at the time. But can you imagine a full-grown shark coming down the water slide and landing next to you? I'm pretty sure I'd have a heart attack before it could eat me.
Unfortunately, this story doesn't have a happy ending. (Did you really think that it would?) Despite the best efforts of resort employees, the pool's chlorine poisoned the shark before it could be returned to its aquarium. But though the poor thing died, I can assure you all that it will live forever in my nightmares.

That's creepy! I would have had a heart attack too, If that thing came at me in the pool. I've had a nightmare like that too...
(IDHSCB: What does "IDHSCB" stand for?)
Aw, poor shark. :'(
At least it got to go down a water slide before it died.
That would be rather frightening.
That was definitely the weirdest thing I have heard today. Though I still feel bad for the poor shark.
lol. thats why our swim teams name is the sharks. well have you jumping out of the water in terror . . . or eaten. either one.
but i do feel bad for the shark. he just wanted to get away from the loser tourists and ride down the waterslide for once. lighten up. no jk . but seriously.
Wow, really? It sounds like it had been planning that for a while. Jump out of the water, into the slide, and into the pool. Where all those people are having so much fun!
You were just in the Bahamas? Lucky!
This shark thing reminds me of your new years resolutions. Last year you said you that you would save swimming with sharks for 09. Well, it's getting closer! go book a tickit!
Just kidding! But it would be awesome to do that!
Aw how cute! Shark slides down a waterslide!
Everytime I hear the word 'shark', I never think of scary sharks with pointy teeth. I always think of that shark called Bruce, in Finding Nemo, and he seems pretty friendly.
Scary sharks just never get mentioned in my life enough to make me scared of them... But trust me, if I see one, I'd be really scared.
Ananka, I wish you good luck, and all of you Irregulars, when going swimming. I hope no 'surprises' appear in the pool.
OKAY NOW I'M SCARED. IT'S SUMMER IN AUSRALIA.
Isn't that a happy ending?
I mean...um...JK!
Eeek!
THAT IS ASOM!!!!!!!!***********!!!!!!!*********
That is creepy. Your next book should feature the Irregulars saving civilians from jumping, man-eating sharks .
GAH! Everytime I go to a pool I am positivly terrified that a drain will somehow open up and suck me in, or that this will happen. Yikes!
