Title: This is why I just build sand castles. Post by: Kenrick on March 19, 2005, 11:54:12 PM http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/asiapcf/03/20/australia.shark.ap/index.html
Quote "The 26-year-old man was bitten in half by the six-meter (20-foot) animal and death seemed to be instantaneous," said Putland, adding that the man's body was not recovered. The search for the remains resumed Sunday. Title: Re: This is why I just build sand castles. Post by: Paelos on March 20, 2005, 09:30:51 AM They always say death is instaneous in cases like this. Did they do research or something on death? I have a feeling getting eaten by a shark is just like going to sleep...in a giant blender.

Title: Re: This is why I just build sand castles. Post by: Murgos on March 20, 2005, 01:00:31 PM Considering it takes several minutes for the brain to die I would assume he thought it quite a bit.
He probably lost conciousness pretty early on though, but I bet thats still plenty of time to realize what just happened. Probably never felt it though, you would go into shock immediately. Most of the people I've talked to who have suffered major injuries such as gunshot wounds have said they didn't feel the pain for several minutes. My own personal experience is that getting injured doesn't hurt until after your brain has decided you have a good chance to live through it. Title: Re: This is why I just build sand castles.

If he'd been bitten by a gila monster, he would have slowly died of incredible infections. Gila monsters harbor botulism, salmonella and E. coli in their mouths. They're immune to all the nasties and if you get even the tiniest nibble from one of those things, like, your whole leg will get infected and fall off. And I'm pretty sure they also give you AIDS and testicular cancer.

Only if you are dumb enough to fuck one. Title: Re: This is why I just build sand castles. Post by: Fargull on March 21, 2005, 10:40:31 AM Wonder if everyone used to call him chum?

Probably, every calls me "Big mass of half-eaten bloody entrails". I wonder how I'll go. Title: Re: This is why I just build sand castles.
