Ancient shark

I'm going to be lazy this week.....

An interesting story in the news last week.

An ancient shark was caught on video. The

shark usually resides some 2000 feet below.

It must have been sick and drifted to the surface.

The story:

TOKYO - A species of shark rarely seen alive because its natural habitat is 2,000 feet or more under the sea was captured on film by staff at a Japanese marine park this week.
The Awashima Marine Park in Shizuoka, south of Tokyo, was alerted by a fisherman at a nearby port on Sunday that he had spotted an odd-looking eel-like creature with a mouthful of needle-sharp teeth. Marine park staff caught the 5-foot long creature, which they identified as a female frilled shark, sometimes referred to as a “living fossil” because it is a primitive species that has changed little since prehistoric times. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16785254/?GT1=8921

The Water People

Who are the water people you ask?

They live upstairs from us.

They keep us awake day and night incessantly running water.

The running of the water appears to be random

throughout the daytime hours, but without fail begins nightly at

about 9-11:00pm. And continues until the wee hours.

And off we go....

To the sink, run the water for about 10-15 seconds, turn water off, walk away.

Wait 30 secs, return to sink, repeat procedure 40 MILLION FRICKING TIMES!

This occurs as I write this blog. I could get fancy and even include

sound clips of the ever running water, but I'm not gonna.

We pondered what could cause this immense water consumption.

Could it be related to the wrinkly skin syndrome somehow?

(See earlier 'Wrinkled in Alberta' post)

Maybe they own shares in the water company?

We thought it may be they own a camel.

Maybe they only have a small bowl for the camel and thus

have to walk back and forth to fill the camel's water dish.

Maybe one of them has OCD of the hand-washing variety.

That would be sad, but still very annoying.
