is it ok that they grabbed that shark by its gills?
they didn't grab him by the gills in that last successful lift, those are further back! they had him by the corners of his jaw, which is just about the only solid piece of a shark you can get a handle on
big sharks are very hardy so he's probably confused and humiliated but otherwise fine
So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)
tell me about the real historical figure Marco polo
Marco Polo is famous for finding his way around the world by shouting out his own name and following when distant people from unfamiliar lands called it back to him. He did so even from across land masses as he rode on horseback, hitting a ball with a hammer, and over bodies of water like oceans and pools, hence his nickname, "Water Polo." He also invented a new type shirt that could establish at a quick glance that its wearer was a rich pretentious jerk.
