A woman reportedly lost her hands to a shark attack while she was trying to take a selfie with the large creature.

    I get a little suspicious of the accuracy of a story from a TV station in Cincinnati, Ohio, whose source is a story from a New Zealand newspaper, about something that happened to a Canadian tourist in the Turks and Caicos islands in the Caribbean. Truly a globe spanning story.

    EDIT: Going to the New Zealand Herald, their story just seems to be a copy of the story in the Daily Telegraph of London, England, written by one of their U.S. correspondents. That is at least a British territory, so it sort of works. Information seems largely the same as in the Turks and Caicos Weekly, so maybe the story is accurate.

      This is the exact route Ethan Hunt takes in Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning

      So I heard from Joe’s best friend’s brother-in-law that Bill lost $600 in a one handed chainsaw competition…
