Naked Man Scares Shark to Death?
Fri June 13, 2003 11:09 AM ET
LONDON (Reuters) - A British comedian could face criminal charges over the death of a "sensitive" shark after he jumped into a tank at an aquarium in the nude, the Daily Telegraph newspaper reported Friday.
The 12-year old smooth hound shark, which measured three feet, died suddenly two days after Guy Venables jumped into its tank as a publicity stunt at the Brighton Sea Life Center, southern England.

"This variety of shark is susceptible to stress. We are very concerned he died as a result of seeing Mr Venables jumping into the tank," Sea Life Center's Lisa Handscomb told the newspaper.

"The shark is being examined by our biological services team and if it is found that he died from stress, we will prosecute Mr Venables for criminal damage."

Strange, indeed! Wonder how long they survive at sea, being
under constant threat of attack from other sharks? :o :?:

Marshall, I'm sure there are documented cases of sharks swimming around bars late at night that have a similar impact on women.

And you'll probably recall that huge nudist parade in China earlier this year where the medical staff was overwhelmed by spectators who got sick!

Guess you could say the shark died from "exposure."
