WELLINGTON (AFP) - A New Zealand doctor fought off an attacking shark with a knife before heading ashore to stitch his own wounds and on to the nearest pub for a beer, reports said on Tuesday. James Grant was spearfishing near Colac Bay on the southern coast of New Zealand on Saturday when he felt the shark wrap its jaws around his leg. "(I thought) bugger, now I have to try and get this thing off my leg," he told Radio New Zealand. Mr Grant, 24, said he didn't get a good look at the shark but the nature of several wounds suggested it was a sevengill shark and about 20 centimetres (7.8 inches) across at the jaw. Full-grown sevengills can measure up to 3.0 metres (10 feet) in length.

Guess these are just examples of folks who lack common sense [shakehead] : From STOMP: http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sg...on_ketchup.html Posted on 07 Apr 2013 See the huge amount of ketchup this 'yau kwee' woman took at IKEA STOMPer Reshveena saw this woman at the IKEA Alexandra outlet with a plate filled with ketchup in front of her. The STOMPer wrote: "Spotted a woman who was 'katching up on ketchup' at the IKEA at Alexandra. Previously, a man was spotted with eight small dishes of chilli laid out on his table at a KFC outlet, while two diners were seen filling a large paper plate with chilli sauce at another KFC outlet ***** http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sg...ans_on_bus.html Posted on 07 Apr 2013 Uncle stinks up bus by eating durians -- despite commuters telling him to stop This man was stinking up a bus by eating durians on board, but refused to stop even when STOMPer Fairman told him about the smell. The STOMPer also saw the man rubbing his 'dirty finger' under a bus seat. Fairman wrote: "On April 5 at around 5pm, this uncle boarded bus 28. "Once he sat down, he started to eat durians. "The whole bus was filled with the smell of durian. "I told him it was smelly but he didn't bother. "Then he started to eat a second one! "To makes matters worse, he started to rub his dirty finger under the seat! "Please lah uncle, you want to eat go home and enjoy lah"

I can think of the late Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, Jeffrey Lin (taiwan), Aaron Kwok. Any others? Is Nicky Wu also another racer?

In your experiences, do you find that most women will tell u yes or no, want or dont want, but they usually dont tell you why EVEN if you ask... Especially so when its a negative answer...
