 :sharkPretty amazing secondary story in the above article about the guy who was half inside a great white head-first and was saved when the skark bit down on his weight belt.   I've heard of two reports about great whites biting peoples heads off and then spitting them out.   One at the Faralons (sp?) and one about twenty miles north of where I live in Mendocino. It makes me wonder why they spit them out.  Wet suit hoods?  (A scientific question if a bit morbid.)
