Great White Sharks invade Cape Cod, Massachusetts
September 8, 2009
This is not a Great White, but he plays one on TV...
Great White sharks have invaded Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Only yesterday two were tagged, with at least three more sighted. This marks an interesting point in history, not only for the beach-goers who have to stay out of the water all weekend long, but also for the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries which can now claim the first successful tagging of a Great White shark in the Atlantic Ocean. What I want to know is this: Why were the sharks on Cape Cod to begin with? A few (potentially) compelling reasons:
- Moving further up North made sense since staying too long in the waters off New Jersey causes them to glow in the dark. Not so subtle for a stalker.
- You can get lobster rolls without the shells at the Cape.
- Better dental plans in Massachusetts.
- “Hey Phil, I told you we should have kept going straight when we passed Johannesburg!”
