Kids Say the Darndest Things

So.. if you are in for a good story and laugh, please keep reading this post.  I have a student in one of my classes that has quite the stories.  Today during class we were talking about traits and how traits help an organism survive in a given environment.  This lead to this student telling me a wonderful "true" story about his dad.  I was told that the student's Dad is a professional diver for the marines.  One time his dad was dying and he ran into a Megalodon Shark.  (Refer to picture below if not familiar with organism).

Now, those of you who don't know this shark, it has been extinct for a few million years now and it is quite massive compared to other sharks alive today.  I wanted to make sure the kid wasn't sure so I asked him, are you sure it was Megalodon or another shark?  He ensured me with much enthusiasm that it was indeed Megaladon.  Anyway, his dad got a picture with said shark of him standing on top of it with the shark's mouth wide open. I told him he would have to bring me the picture sometime....  By the way, this was after the student told me a few days ago that his dad was also the head security guard for Marilyn Monroe.  I have to meet this guy!   Anyway, I hope this little story brings a few laughs because it certainly made me chuckle.
