A nurse shark, credited for the deaths of the two young swimmers the last two days, has been caught. Nurse sharks are among the most dangerous and brutal sharks of the east coast and credited for hundreds of swimmer's deaths.
Chief Police Brody has reopened the beaches as well as called in shark spotters from the Coast Guard, the Marine Patrol, the Massachusetts State Police, the U.S. Navy, Homeland Security, the FBI, and other agencies as "as a safety caution that we hope will put our visitors at ease."
The Nurse shark was inspected by Matt Hooper, a marine biologist from Woods Hole, Mass. He is a leading expert on sharks and is from the Oceanographic Institute.
The shark was discovered a mile out south-southwest of Amity. As promised, a $3,000 award will be given to the heroes who caught the beast.
All residents are encouraged to go out and enjoy the fourth of July, shark free. If however, something happens do not hesitate to call 1-800-sharksee, Amity's toll-free shark hotline.
"We wish everyone a safe and happy 4th of July," reported Brody in his press release about the Nurse Shark. "Thank you!"

SHARK ATTACK Meeting
An Amity town meeting happened tonight to discuss the closing of the beach in light of the two recent deaths linked to shark attacks. Mrs. Kitner has put up a $3,000.00 reward for anyone who kills “the shark.”
“Will the beaches be closed?” she asked Police Chief Martin Brody as soon as the meeting got underway.
He stopped what he was talking about, hiring additional summer deputies and having shark spotters on the beach, and said “Yes.”
The town meeting was in an uproar. Yes, after the deaths of two innocent young people, the people of this town were still appalled to have the beach closed in fear of losing customers to our small beach town.
“Only 24 hours,” said the Mayor Larry Vaughn as he hit his gavel.
“I didn’t agree to that,” argued Police Chief Brody.
“Only 24 hours,” hissed the mayor, despite having two deaths in the last 24 hours happen related to the beaches.
From the back of the meeting room came the horrid screech of nails on chalk. The people at the meeting turned around to find Mr.Quint, a long time local fisherman, sitting in a chair.
“You all know [me],” he said. He said he could kill the shark alone, but the price would need to be higher. “I’m fighting for three,” he explained, “but I’m killing for ten. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole d--- thing.”
He asked the board members to consider his offer and then left. Meeting was adjourned.

Final NYT Post for 5/4
5/4: Can't believe they almost let that suspect terrorist board that plane. I still think he's unrelated, the "nonexplosive fertlizer" I mentioned before makes me think he didn't do it. And wow, $106.5 Million for a Picasso nude? Recession, my butt...

NYT 4/21-5/3
4/21: American Idiot deputed on Broadway last Tuesday. When I first bought the CD six years ago I always envisioned it to be a broadway musical. I even designed a costume I wore on Halloween. The actual broadway performance beats the heck out of any ideas I had and I'm very tempted to go see it.
4/22: Got interested in an article about underwater cameras, didn't really know they made them on a non-professional level. Maybe I'll buy one next time. Besides that, not much caught my eye.
4/23: New missile that can hit any "corner" of the world, might be a more dangerous threat then a nuclear bomb. Of course, that's like saying during the First Irag War we mostly used smart missiles (completely false) so I doubt these are that strong. Still, thanks to a deal with Russia we are suppose to decommission a nuke for each one made. I wonder who checks to see if we've done that?
4/26: Craig's List making a large profit off selling ad space for sex slaves and prostitution. Originally the money went to charity, now it just goes to profit. Its scary what happens when business takes over.
4/27:I got a kick out of the power point article. One of my professors refuses to use power point. NASA has banned it from its company. Can you really simplify something as complex as war into a power point? The fact they try worries me.
4/28: Lots of people argue about not wanting to outsource our clothing industries and pay a little more for pants. But $550? You can't sell me on that. I am reminded of an old article on Salon.com that interviewed the guy in charge of A&F. He pointed out they sell to select clientele. This article points to this as well as the old adage "There's a sucker born every minute." Sorry, but if the pants fit...
4/29:A friend mentioned the moving of this mermaid statue to me. When she was in Denmark she sent me a postcard of it. I figured it had to due with marketing and I was right. Got to love Danish traders. I would have blown it to smithereens just to smite them.
4/30: I've never listened to Insane Clown Posse, but every time I see their shirts I laugh. Now, thanks to SNL I'll laugh even more. I need to find the links to these videos. Love how people thought their own music video was a gag. That's not good...
5/3: That car bomb in Time Square is nerve racking, but I actually found something odd about it. The fertilizer was reported to be "nonexplosive," this means the person who did it didn't know what they were doing. I'm chocking it up as one time wack job, not Arabian terrorists.
