AFP - The chilly waters off northeastern England are rarely that
inviting for bathers, but at least those who do venture in for a
dip have been able to do so in the knowledge they are safe from
sharks, crocodiles, giant carnivorous squid, and other underwater
monsters so hideous that they are not mentioned in polite society.
Until now, that is.
In a virtually unprecedented warning, British maritime agencies
warned surfers, divers and others thinking of braving the North
Sea to be on the alert for things that might make a quick meal
out of those unwary souls who dip their tooties in the drink.
The discovery of a series of dead Scot bathers washed up onto
beaches in northeast England, some with large chunks apparently
bitten out of them, has prompted the warning, the Daily Mail
newspaper reported on Wednesday. Several monsters were found
in an equal condition, the Scots having attacked first, sensing
a free meal.

"The Silver Sphere is about twice the size of a
billiard ball. It has a couple of very sharp hooks
built into it. It flies through the air, attaches
itself to your forehead, and digs in. Then a drill
comes out and pierces your skull just above the
bridge of the nose, while blood spurts out the other
end. I hate it when that happens."
-- Roger Ebert

The sketch comedy television show 'Fridays' once featured a short
sketch in which a reporter interviews a boy from a rural American town
who claimed to have invented "a new dirty word". The word, cuckfum,
drew an appreciable laugh from the audience. Later, when the boy begins
to use the word in conversation to the reporter, his hypocritical
family beat him mercilessly while using vulgar language, all "bleeped"
from the soundtrack.
