tugeranong parkway shark

Seen floating above the Tuggeranong Parkway near Lyons this morning.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane?

No, it’s a remote control shark.

I’m just waiting for the first victim with a chunk taken out of his parachute to be interviewed by the media. ‘It was hiding behind the clouds. I choked it with my rip-cord.’

HOT NEWS – Shark now sighted by a pilot several thousand feel over New Zealand!

Hahaha!
Depressingly though, the comments under that story sound exactly like the bunch of RA posts above. Perhaps RA isn’t the exclusive source of comedy gold I thought it was?!?! 😉
Also, someone claims it was their shark from Byron!

On the website I saw them on it said “Indoor use only” – which if course reads as a challenge to some.

Haha, definitely true!

I can just hear.. What instructions?

Agree

Reminds me of last years Dr Who Xmas Special…

Bugger! A bloke at work had one of those – it was a very cool gadget, but the control you have over them is limited. It looks as if this one got away. 🙁

Where’s Fonzie?

I saw these for sale in Woden today, and thought they were simply a balloon that you blew up, tied to the roof and it flew around in circles… I guess it was only a matter of time until someone filled it with helium.
