Monster Shark: A Great White Christmas on Cape Cod

On December 18, 2010, I heard a report that a boat encountered a very large great white shark (reportedly 20+ ft. long) that was entangled in fishing gear a few miles off the Chatham, Massachusetts coast.

Great White Shark off Chatham, MA December 18, 2010. The shark looks to me like it may have been dead for some time before it was hauled up.

I am a commercial fisherman myself and I know all the local fisherman. So, after some digging around, I was sent three cell phone pictures of the monster great white shark from an anonymous source. [...]

Tactical & Practical Advice to Gain Advantage in the Dark

In the spirit of general randomness, here are a few tips to help you in low visibility situations due to darkness.

Night Vision

Hire Service Providers Using CraigsList the Smart Way

9/11: An Argument for controlled demolition
