Pahtooooey!!

A beachcomber strolling on a Mendocino County beach found a human head three weeks after a fatal shark attack that killed sports fishing advocate Randall Fry.

Mendocino County authorities on Tuesday said the head belonged to Fry.

Fry, who was wearing a wetsuit, was diving head first in about 15 feet of water when the shark swiftly moved in and attacked.

The shark apparently ripped Fry's head and neck from his body, a move sharks usually reserve for marine mammals.

Read the entire follow-up here.

well, if you constantly dive in a spot inhabited by sharks, and do it in a manner the might resemble their chosen prey (dark suit, diving in headfirst), it's reasonable to expect that they might be inclined to take a test bite. and for something as large as a great white, that's a fairly big bite...

Where is Mendocino County? It's in a country song, so I should probably learn :)
