Kruster,

Yes I have. We went over for a day trip on a catamaran. Did some shopping, snorkeling and I swam with the shark.

It was a big shark. I forget what kind, but it was as big as me.

Of course, he was in a pen located next to a pier. The pen was about the size of a backyard swimming pool. Maybe a little bigger.

My wife was worried about me jumping into that pen with a shark. Not me...I was feeling brave.

"Don't worry honey, look....other people are swimming with him. They must have him trained or something. "

I paid the man tending the pen 10 bucks I think. I saw the fear in my wifes eyes as I jumped in. The shark came swimming up and I was able to hang onto him and he pulled me around.

"Look honey....no problem. Hey, senor!!" I hollered to the attendant. "How did you train this shark to make sure he doesn't hurt anyone?" I asked "Oh, we no train shark. Shark have no teeth and can't see."

DOH!

Yup, I swam with a toothless, blind shark.........

...poor thing.....

:o)

I got a fat pipe!

Broadband baby!

Beautiful, bubbling, broadband!

I got my cable modem connected and holy smokes does she fly!
I can actually watch those movie trailers and hear the Yahoo sound
clips and everything else that was considered wondrous on the internet.

I updated Quick Time and few other software downloads and it took
seconds to get to me rather than hours.

The internet is fun again!

Pictures load in seconds!

The only thing it doesn't do is help me type any faster.
It still takes me on average 5-10 minutes to get these fingers to finish
a post like this one.
