Shark Swallows Then Rejects DiverPosted on Jan 23, 2007
A three-meter-long white pointer shark swallowed an Australian diver headfirst, up to his torso, only to discover that it couldn’t stand the taste. The dissatisfied shark then spat out Eric Nerhus, who experts believe was mistaken for a seal.

actually, he stabbed it in the eye which is why it let him go. They covered this in the news quite extensively here in australia. Most shark attacks are because we look too much like seals in our wetsuits, but th shark would have kept eating him after figuring out he wasnt seal meat anyway.

He was pretty lucky to have tasted bad to the shark. If not, he would have been a goner.

If this white pointer had swallowed Bush or Cheney he would have vomited—so you can’t even get rid of those two by feeding them to the sharks.
