Somebody needs to get in touch with this shark and warn her to avert course! If she goes to Mississippi, Thad Cochran may do something indecent to her.

Katharine, a 14-foot-long, 2,300-pound great white shark, is being tracked via satellite. She was in the Gulf of Mexico just south of the Florida coastline Wednesday morning. Read more here: http://www.sunherald.com/2014/06/18/5657583/great-white-shark-tracked-in-gulf.html#storylink=cpy

Mississippi is the suspected destination because the shark was last seen whistlin Dixie.

We’d only need to exterminate four or five species of sharks and there would never be another attack on a human. There would still be 295 species of the fricking things for “scientists” to “study”...

It’s all because of climate change/global warming/Bush/no immigration reform/guns/Tea Party/home schoolers/Republicans/FOX news/Rush/Levin/Beck/Hannity/pro lifers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TangoLimaSierra]

Evacuate, I say.

And here I thought it was a joke, that the great white was Haley the BIG white pos!

Yeah...'cause the oceans belong to humans for recreation...so lets wipe out some species that God put here for a reason.

[TADSLOS]

LMAO.

These sharks move 100 miles a day, no problem.

Questions:

1. How much energy does it take to move a one-ton submerged object 100 miles? and

2. How can the shark eat that much fish along the way?

Wow. Just wow.

Great White Shark ... Could Be Headed for Mississippi
Racism.

[TexasCajun]

They have to harass the wildlife to save it.

[Jane Long]

LOL...maybe Thad better watch out for Katherine!

[ResponseAbility]

Thandygram?

[nickcarraway]

I think she’s allergic to pecans.

1. How much energy does it take to move a one-ton submerged object 100 miles?

Not as much as you'd think, because its body is perfectly designed to do just that.

[Vigilanteman]

I’ve heard an oxygen tank in their mouth which is punctured with a .22 rifle shot is quite effective at neutralizing the threat.

[Vince Ferrer]

Do you know what this means? The mayor was right, and Matt Hooper was full of it. Close the beaches for 24 hours, and the shark will swim off.

[1rudeboy]

I’m near Detroit. Should I be concerned?

[Vince Ferrer]

Racism.

Still following the slave ship routes after all these years....
