WTF!!! :yikes:

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Three friends said they found a shark stuck in a car wash drain in north Charlotte after the heavy rains died down Friday.

According to the three friends, they were walking when someone told them there was a shark at the car wash, so they went to check it out. They said they could smell the shark before they saw it.

"(We were) wondering how in the world a shark ended up at a car wash coming out of the sewer. Everything was flooded though, like the whole park was flooded," one person said.

They said the shark was dead when they found it. No one knows exactly where it came from.

Some areas of Charlotte received as much as 6 inches of rain in the course of a few hours Friday

A pipe from a car wash drain would be too small for a shark to swim through.

Even if it wasn't, that pipe would come from the sanitary sewer line, which means the shark would have had to swim through a wastewater treatment plant, filled with grinders and chemicals.

Before that, the shark would have had to swim through over a hundred miles of freshwater creek. The farthest a shark has been known to go inland in freshwater is 20 miles, I think.

Much more likely that someone caught a shark at the beach and just put it there.

I don't know. Still not sure about this one.

Check it....Bull Sharks can swim hundreds if not thousands of miles through freshwater. They just need to piss more to regulate the difference in salinity.

The shark has traveled 4,000 kilometres (2,500 mi) up the Amazon River to Iquitos in Peru.[10] It also lives in fresh water Lake Nicaragua, and in the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers of West Bengal and Assam in eastern India and adjoining Bangladesh. It can live in water with a high salt content as in St. Lucia Estuary in South Africa.

Unlike most sharks, bull sharks tolerate fresh water and can travel far up rivers. They have even been known to travel as far up as Indiana in the Ohio River and Illinois in the Mississippi River, although there have been few recorded attacks. As a result, they are probably responsible for the majority of near-shore shark attacks, including many attacks attributed to other species.

That isn't a bull shark.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Roger all that. Do you think BY avoided any sacks last game? This oline is not what you're touting them to be. They are much better then 2023! Much much much better than 2023. But come on now, you'd expect this expensive oline (most are run blocking specialist) to at least dominate in the run game every game.  And... I keep telling you our WRs and TEs are not that good yet. I mean last Sunday was a prime example. Our receiving targets never make plays like those. Never. And this is from one of the worst teams in the league. Shough could have easily had 3 INTs if not for his receivers making plays on the ball. Our guys just don't do that. XL almost allowed an INT backing up out of bounds instead of coming to the ball. And everyone would have blamed that on BY. That's why he doesn't throw to that dude. I can't recall a game except maybe the second Falcons game - maybe, where I thought our receivers could possibly be better than the other team's. I think TMac and Coker have a lot of potential. But they're aren't consistent. But they're young and WILL improve. I'm confident of that.  I don't agree that BY was drafted to only stand in the pocket. He has always been best off schedule - for better or worse.

      Do you think you will get a direct answer?  Icky giving up 5 pressures (playing hurt in his defense) by himself and Bryce only getting sacked once tells you he played well in the pocket.  He extended plays and converted some tough downs.

      What gets this team past this?

      By frankw · Posted

      I've been very apprehensive about potentially firing yet another head coach. But Canales needs to focus on being a head coach first and foremost and begin handing off some responsibilities like playcalling duties and begin overseeing the entire team or we need to assess all possible ideal HC candidates in the offseason.
