There's not a carrot in the world big enough to tantalize me into clicking a link to Huffington Post.

Until we figured out they were rays I was quite a bit panicked as a shark thats 6' wide would be one big muther. It was the time of year for them to be 'doing the nasty' so I think they were checking us out. Was awesome to watch once I concluded they couldn't snap the boat in half.
Not to take away from their intimidating image, but I believe they're "cow nosed rays" not bull-nosed.

My brother almost had a heart attack when he saw the back of one while swimming in the Wye River off the Bay. They're harmless (to humans) but big.

+1. By clicking is there a fear you will become a vegan, buy a Prius, start humming Barbara Streisand tunes, melt your guns, consider a gay relationship, and sell your Porsche to use the proceeds for carbon credits?

Exactly. I don't own a Pry-us, don't like Streisand, not at all gay, won't sell the p-cars (even with wife pressure) and am only a vegetarian. Oh, no guns to melt.
