| Quote: | Mysterious blue shark found in New Hampshire woods
By Liz Goodwin
Locals in the small town of Milton, New Hampshire are trying to figure out how a six-foot shark ended up in the region's woods.
Floyd Ellis told local station WMUR that his brother found the decomposing blue shark on Thursday. The closest ocean beach is a 45-minute drive away, so authorities think fishers without a license may have caught it there and then dumped it in the woods to decompose when they realized they might get in trouble for the catch.
Miltonites at a local pond told the station they had never heard of anything like it. One man suggested that the incident was likely a real-world extension of the Discovery Channel's annual summer roundup of shark-themed programming.
"It's totally Shark Week," the man said. |

| There was a porpoise found propped up in a cubicle of the gents toilets in Glasgow's Central Station back in the 1970s, which is a similar kind of thing but even more bizarre. |

Certainly a case of 'out of place items'.
I'd love to have seen the look on someones face when they first saw that. |

Another "Land Shark" - almost exactly 2 years later! 
| Quote: | Shark Found At Pub Door On Nantucket
NANTUCKET, Mass. — A cleaning crew has found an unexpected mess after arriving at Sea Dog Brew Pub on Nantucket: a 5-foot-long shark blocking the door.
Pub manager Jimmy Agnew says he doesn't know why anyone would have dumped the sea creature there.
Nantucket's public works department hauled the dead shark away after its discovery around 7 a.m. Thursday.
But Agnew said the pub fielded calls and questions all day long after word got out about the land shark. |

Another Land Shark - this time in the NY Subway - found with cigarette in mouth and a can of beer. Pictures at the ling
The Mustelus canis shark, referred to as the smooth dogfish, is known to skulk along the US Atlantic coast, off the beaches of Brazil and along the shores of northern Argentina.

I like Ling! There's a South African curry sauce that's awesome with it - throw in some veggies and rice and you have a very simple and delicious meal.
