A fisherman has caught a huge shark's head off .... Australia, leading to fears an even bigger creature attacked it.

The severed head weighed a huge 100kg, meaning the shark it came from could have been up to 12ft long.

It appears the Mako shark's head was bitten off and discarded by a predator - potentially an even bigger shark.

    Ahh, I'm slowly catching on, being somewhat new and somewhat occasional to online conversations. So you're saying I'm spoiling the creative spirit here? Too much rational thought. Not enough drama. Okay, I'll learn, and thanks for the wisdom. (trundles off looking for intelligent life forms...)

    It's the world we live in. Being ordinary, even if true, simply does not get good ratings.

    Can you imagine a dozen news channels of talking heads discussing something common, ordinary and true? It would be more boring . . . uh . . . more boring . . . . than cspan.

      OhMyGosh, you used "cspan" in a sentence here. I almost died because of a combination of fainting and vomiting. Wasn't my time I guess. Let's not use the very strong profanity here. Someone else could get hurt.

      Can I imagine a dozen news channels of talking heads...? You'd have to somehow cut way down on the existing thousands first. That's a goal I can support.

      The fix for the ratings is a simple 1/(existing ratings). Maybe factor in a PR-expected exaggeration, say 37/(existing ratings) :)
