    Think you're having a bad day....

    Nothing beats this photo!


    Amazing... huge shark going after that rescuer!

    If you can't read the blurb at the top, its says:
    And you think you're having a bad day at work!!

    Although this looks like a picture taken from a Hollywood movie, it is a real photo, taken near the South African coast during a military exercise by the British Navy.

    It has been nominated by National Geographic as "THE photo of the year".

    It is a clever combination of two unrelated photos: one, a picture of an American Air National Guard helicopter on a training mission near the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco (flipped horizontally); the other, of a great white shark breaching in the waters near South Africa.

    Old Photoshopped joke, but I still love it anyway.

    They need to make that into a poster.

    drat! My uncle sent it to me last night and I was impressed. Silly me! Still cool though!

  5. LOL, like the other people said...this is a hoaxI will attach one pic here, and the other in a seperate postLOL. Very neat though!

    The shark picture is from Charles Maxwell Video Services in South Africa and is a photo of a great white shark breaching.

  6. 2nd Picture

    The helicopter is not British, but American. It is a HH-60G Pave Hawk flown by the California Air National Guard. Californians will recognize the Golden Gate bridge in the background. According to the Air Force, this picture was taken by Tech. Sgt. Lance Cheung during a training exercise. Whoever made the composite reversed the photo.

    We sold the bridge to the Aussies in 1999.

    What ever they do with it is none of our concern.
