  | | | | Quote: Man sits on whale carcass as massive shark lurks nearby
THE Perth man who risked his life diving into shark-infested waters to climb on to a rotting whale carcass says he won’t do anything like it again and even his parents think he’s an idiot.
Harrison Williams, of Quinns Rock, north of Perth, said: “I was out on the boat with the boys and one of my mates said it would be pretty funny to surf the whale so I did it.”
The 26-year-old said he saw the sharks, including a massive great white, but they did not deter him from getting into the water.
“They were too busy chomping on the whale so it wasn’t too bad,” he said.
Mr Williams told Seven News it was not until he was on top of the whale that he realised the danger and stupidity of his actions.
“Definitely not (wouldn’t do it again) ... I’ve done it, I don’t need to do it again. Definitely it was a stupid act, didn’t mean to disrespect anyone, mum thinks I’m an idiot, dad’s not too proud either,” he said.
Authorities reportedly won’t fine Mr Williams because the whale was already dead and he did not remove any part of it. | | | | |

Man 3D prints own Warhammer 40K ArmyThat whistling noise you can hear is incoming artillery barrage from GW's lawyers. I've had dealings with them, they have a habit of reaching straight for the nuclear option.

Thanks everyone that commented on the previous page regarding my friend.
It doesn't make it any easier that she's in England and I'm not.
She is surrounded by other friends and family at the moment, so that is at least something.

If you can, get over to see her. I had a similar situation with my mother, when she got leukaemia and I was in Germany. I went over a couple of times, but I planned to go over for several weeks once she came out of hospital... She didn't, life expectancy went from 4 years to 4 months to 4 days within a week! I wish her all the best. And hope you get a chance to see her.

Speaking from experience several of my notable friends have gone very quite since they found out I had cancer.
It turns out it was simply because they didn't know what to say.
From my perspective that's the worst thing that can happen as having cancer is a very very lonely experience, you need your friends more than ever.
So please keep in touch with her as a bare minimum if you cant get to see her. It will really help her I promise you.

Oh yeah. I've got a 235 m3 displacement to do this evening with only 110 m3 of pit space to take the returns to.
I guess this is going to be a race between the rig pumps and the tankers.

My new tablet left Eindhoven last night, it is currently near Recklinghausen and should be with me later today.
Mouse, keyboard cover and desktop dock as well. And a little present for my other half.
