An Icelandic fishing captain, known as “the iceman” for his tough character, grabbed a 660 pound shark with his bare hands as it swam in shallow water toward his crew, according to witnesses. The skipper of the trawler “Erik the Red” was on a beach last week in Kuummiit, east Greenland, watching his crew process a catch when he saw the shark swimming toward the blood/guts --- and his men. Captain Sigurdur Petursson ran into the shallow water and grabbed the shark by the tail. He dragged it off to dry land and killed it with his knife.

This guy gets my vote for tough guy of the week. He's the kind of guy you find in that dark alley you hear about.

Forget Iraq, we need him in congress. I didn't know there was a knife that could make it through shark hide. I've touched a shark before their skin is as hard as eye teeth.

Bill Clinton says he wrasseled that same shark in Marthas Vineyard six years ago when it went after Hillary. He didn't kill it, but only gravely injured it. He's glad the Cap'n was able to save his crew, and considers it providencial that they, together, were able to defeat it.
<p.He added that he regrets they had to kill such a beautiful animal.

Come to think of it, when Kennedy drowned Mary Jo, he supposedly swam two miles through some of the most shark infested water in the US at Martha's Vineyard. Course you would have to feel sorry for the shark that bites him for a number of reasons. (Acid indigestion, bad taste, the runs, a rash, food poisoning.........)

Always wondered how he could swim 2 miles, but was unable to save Mary Jo.

Congress?

California justed elected their own 'iceman'!

Pardon the optimism, but methinks Arnold is going to kick some arse and take no prisoners!

Would that be the John Kerry who's a Viet Nam vet?

Aarrr...I hear tell of "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorf runs deep-sea fishing expeditions in Florida. Steve Keirn, one-time partner with Stan Lane (imagine a Spike who is tough) and singly WWF mid-carder "Skinner", works boats out of the gulf side. Both have tales to shiver ye timbers.

I am reserving judgment until he is in office for a few months...everyone seems to think he is a RINO, he makes noises like one, but so would I if I wanted to get elected and get my own agenda moving.

[ImProudToBeAnAmerican]

I concur - action speaks louder than words.

Arnold is as right as the left coast can stomach, but methinks he'll get down to business, clean house, and be a stunning one or two term monster slayer!

I don't care how big and tough he is. There is no way he could haul Kennedy's carcass onshore. Hillary's humongous hindquarters are another challenge.....

[MissAmericanPie]

It would be fun to turn him loose in congress and see who would want to take on the "Ice Man".
