Something Fishy (humor)
SYDNEY — Five men with cancelled passports were Wednesday accused of planning to sail to Indonesia from Australia en route to join jihadist groups in Syria.
The men included notorious Australian Islamic preacher Musa Cerantonio, who was detained in the Philippines in 2014 and deported for reportedly urging people to join jihad in Iraq and Syria, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation said…. (JT)

Mick Fanning’s close-encounter with a shark
I am sure most of you have seen footage of Australian triple surf champion Mick Fanning’s close-encounter with a shark during the final of a surfing competition at Jeffrey’s Bay in South Africa.
“Paddling out to ride his first wave, a menacing grey fin appeared in the water behind him before knocking the 34-year-old off his board. The whole episode being caught live on camera for Sunday’s final of the World Surf League’s J-Bay Open.”
I was relieved to see Fanning escaped unscathed but admit to a chuckle at this post on a South African forum:
“These Australians are crazy. All I did was get caught in Mick Fanning’s leg-rope and he punched me. You hear stories about Australians….but you try not judge. But the way Fanning attacked me, I now see where the stories come from. I now know what the English go through in the Ashes, these guys are bloody animals…… Nobody deserves to be treated this way, someone needs to do something about this!”

More effective than the riot police: your mama
This mother didn’t take kindly to her son participating in the Baltimore riots sparked by the death of Freddie Gray. The angry Baltimore mom recognized her masked son throwing rocks at police on television. That didn’t sit well with her.
