WOW!

Lawgirl and I were having a conversation the other day about how e-mail has become almost obsolete -- an archaic form of communication. Between IM and blog comments, I seem to communicate more with smileys than anything else. :)

E-mail, however, does have it's perks. Like this little gem my brother sent me. I put it under the category, "Things that make you go whoa."

Family on holiday in Australia for a week and a half when husband, wife and their 15 year old son decided to go scuba diving. The husband is in the navy and has had some scuba experience. His son wanted a picture of his mum and dad in all their gear so he got the under water camera ready to go. When it came to taking the picture the dad realized that the son looked like he was panicking as he took it, and gave the 'OK' hand sign to see if he was alright.

The son took the picture and swam to the surface and back to the boat as quickly as he could, so the mum and dad followed to see if he was OK. When they got back to him, he was scrambling onto the boat and absolutely panicking. When the parents asked why, he said 'There was a shark behind you!!' and the dad thought he was joking but the skipper of the boat said it was true, but they wouldn't believe him either. As soon as they got back to the hotel they loaded the picture onto the laptop and this is what they saw.
