he was eaten by the rotting corpse of a basking shark?!
In that case I have to presume that said basking shark was a re-animated corpse, and I think we can all agree that a zombie shark is much more scary than a mermaid!!

He is a very funny teacher. His nickname is 'Chips' but all he'll tell us is that he did a bad thing in high school with wood chips. My school has a very interesting faculty.
Because I am in a good mood today, I will let you in on a silent joke: Hix is making fun of you. The ass out of you and me cliche' has been around a while, so Hix was being facetious, as we have all heard it before.
"there's nowt new under t' sun" as my old grandpappy used to say to me back in 1914 when I was but a whipper-snapper

Yes, it ate its heart. Snarf snarf.
On a more serious note, two German politicians recently (in the last 2 years) had their PhDs (and their doctor titles) taken away from them, as journalists looking for skeletons in their closets realised that the politicians plagiarised large portions of their theses. If only they had TurnItIn back then!
Fiji Mermaid.

Aww
. I should of figured that had gotten around more. It's the first time anyone I know has heard it so I though it was pretty clever. Still, my school has a very interesting staff.
maybe it wasn't a mermaid nor a zombie shark, but an aquatic sabre-tooth! Has anyone else here read Karl Shuker's "Mystery Cats Of the World"?
No is the Aquatic Saber-Tooth in it!? That's just plain stupid (unless it's a fiction novel, then it's still stupid but slightly humorous).
Hey! You guys want to go grab my copy of Monsterology and Dragonology and we can all talk about all the amazing animals that science has missed dispite them living right in front of you and us beign able to contact them so easily?

Note: he did not say Saber-Tooth CAT. Who knows what lies in the dark places of the world. [Imagine me saying this in that dark and resonant announcer voice.]
no it was indeed an aquatic sabre-tooth cat. Apparently in the rivers of the Central African countries there are massive aquatic creatures with tusks. Basically walruses that attack boats and kill the occupants. But being Africa they can't be walruses, and hence Shuker postulates that sabre-tooth cats in Africa became aquatic, grew to gigantic size due to bouyancy of the aquatic environment, their legs evolved into flippers for swimming, etc etc.
He wrote all this completely seriously. Its a very interesting book but with lots of questionable content

This is called a Bunyip if you live in Australia.

I only 'read' audio books, and ThylacineAlive is too lazy to read anything at all, so I guess we will never be able to learn more about the sabre tooth cat walruses.
that "snarf snarf" was doing my head in trying to remember where it was from, so I had to Google it! Wish I hadn't; won't be able to get Thundercats out of my head now.

There was a new Thundercats series last year. I never watched it though.
oh I just remembered the South Park three-part-episode "Imagination Land": that's where I knew the "snarf snarf" from!! (I knew the voice in my head was all wrong for the "real" Snarf from Thundercats!)

I forgot about that Snarf! My favourite episode was Scott Tenorman Must Die.
One of my favourite South Park episodes (apart for "Imagination Land") was the two-parter "Cartoon Wars" where they were trying to get Family Guy banned and it turned out that Family Guy was written by a tank full of manatees.
I never used to like South Park but now I really do. Conversely I used to love The Simpsons but the newer series are just really bad, almost too bad to watch sometimes. Family Guy I quite like now in a sort of offhand way, whereas I never did before. The Cleveland Show is rubbish (although I liked the one where they did Die Hard). American Dad is just pathetic.
