Dec 17 2010Drunk Man Kills Shark By Jumping On Head
Dragan Stevic (who you can probably already tell is a badass because his name's pronounced f***in' DRAGON), a wasted Serbian tourist (is there any other way to vacation?!) at Egypt's Sharm el-Sheikh managed to take down a shark that had already killed one person and injured four others in the seaside tourist town by landing on it after drunkenly throwing himself off a high-dive. OMG -- PLEASE tell me you teach classes in heroism!
"Dragan climbed on the jumping board, told me to hold his beer and simply ran to jump. There was no time for me to react or to try to stop him, he just went for it"..."Dragan jumped high and plunged down to the sea, but didn't make as much splash as we thought he would"...
The reason could be because Dragan Stevic ended up jumping straight on the shark which was lurking near the beach, probably looking for its next victim. Dragan had nailed it right in the head, killing it instantly. The Egyptian police found the shark washed out on the beach that morning (pictured above).At the moment, the fearless hero is in a hospital recovering from alcohol poisoning. After Dragan gets well, he will get a chance to have some more drinks as the resort had awarded the Serb tourist with a free vacation for his heroic deed.
*tearing Harry Potter poster off wall* Sorry Hair, but somebody's got a new favorite hero. Yeah, a real one. Plus his name rhymes with Dragon. Powers? He doesn't need any, he just gets shitcanned all the time. *GW's eyes turn into little hearts*
Sharks Wary of Drunk Serbs [mina]
Thanks to clarazinet and derzulu, who both know the best way to dispatch a shark is a well-placed blow on the nose.

Ever notice how lots of great stories start with "Hold My Beer, Watch This..."
Way To Go, Dragan!
14. Ksurfiws - December 17, 2010 11:10 AM
...and it's not a Whitetip in the picture. It's a Basking Shark. And it's harmless with ZERO teeth.
15. brian - December 17, 2010 11:10 AM
no, that is a basking shark, which are filter feeders (eat plankton and invertebrates mostly). this shark killed nobody...
16. John - December 17, 2010 11:14 AM
This guy has won the ultamate badass hero of the year award for the rest of 2010 and all of 2011 haha, the best part is that he didnt even see that shark when he jumped off the high dive, and its like ohh you eating omm nom noming people Mr. F@#king shark? Awww HHEEELLLL NO! Well I be jumping on your dam head and we will see how many more pople you eat POW!!! haha great post GW!

Hero? Say that to the sharks wife and kids!
20. Sub Zero - December 17, 2010 11:31 AM
I will quickly conclude you are right it is a Basking shark and not a White Tip. After googling it there appears to be no images of beached white tips. But plenty of dead basking sharks that have washed up on the beach.
There fore it must be impossible for it to be a white tip.
21. Shelbon - December 17, 2010 11:33 AM
Would be cooler if Bill Murray did it
22. Liquid Tension - December 17, 2010 11:34 AM
the powa of beers
23. Sub Zero - December 17, 2010 11:38 AM
Further conclusion is that Basking sharks are the mentally handicapped sharks of the shark community. Every picture of them is either with there mouth open so wide like its the end of a porno or dead on a beach.
24. Trioxinator - December 17, 2010 11:40 AM
10 bucks says Fox 'News' will run with the story without fact checking it........
25. naas - December 17, 2010 11:57 AM
How can you kill sharks by jumping on your head? HTF can anyone jump on their head??
26. Dishy - December 17, 2010 11:59 AM
That's not the same shark. The shark he jumped had a frickin laser beam on its head.
Dragan Stevic is Serbian for Chuck Norris.

And it wasn't a shark. It was a sociopathic dolphin dressed as a shark.
30. Domino - December 17, 2010 12:03 PM
Although it is fake... that is a badass story.
31. Tristanked - December 17, 2010 12:15 PM
This doesn't look like a basking shark the mouth is all wrong
32. Tristanked - December 17, 2010 12:16 PM
but than again the pics is so shitty it could be
33. Tenkai - December 17, 2010 12:17 PM
Damn that this is fake. Someone go do this so it isn´t fake anymore.
34. Closet Nerd - December 17, 2010 12:19 PM
That is AWESOME.... Awesome to the max..... just sayin
35. Dishy - December 17, 2010 12:21 PM
Fonzie did it first. Jump a shark.
I hope this isn't GW's subtle subconscious psychological site symbolism.
36. Shelbon - December 17, 2010 12:44 PM
@35 I think it is, I think this post means he's going to slowly quit writing geekologie. He feels like he has jumped the shark and wants to quit while he's ahead so let's give him words of encouragement so he'll keep going
37. Bauldur - December 17, 2010 12:55 PM
Now if only he had landed head first on the shark. but still...damn thats epic

They spelled my name wrong. It should actually be D-E-R-I-K not Dragon. They never get it right.

It's "shitfaced", not "shitcanned", BTW. "Shitfaced" is getting so drunk you just don''t give a shit and it shows. On your face. "Shitcanned" is when someone gets fired, typically in an unceremonious manner.

47. JJtoob - December 17, 2010 5:49 PM
@46 Haha I see what you did there.
Also, the studio responsible for the next blockbuster "Human" which will hit shark theaters next summer, has not yet confessed they are responsible for the incident, also noting that no human was hurt during the making of the film.
Except the reeeeal truth is that Chuck Norris saved the actor from drowning as he was drinking real alcohol as a joke from the production staff. Chuck had already round-house kicked the shark in the head minutes before. Underwater.

Translation of the last part of an article on this story, which was added later:
"Njuz.net, 'news in the mirror', the site that originally posted this bizarre story, is known as a web portal which publishes humorous and fictitious stories.
They themselves say that Nujz is a satirical blog, currently without a publisher, and that all the news published Njuz are either invented or used to draw attention to certain phenomenons in the society."

One day when you are meandering along the boardwalk with your own special martini you too will think about being a hero and jumping into the abyss. Until that is the abyss claims you.
Let’s hope Dragan keeps this whole sordid adventure to himself…geesh.

The worst part is that's a basking shark.
They don't have the teeth to kill, they're filter-feeders.

@3, its a dead one.
62. Mark - December 19, 2010 5:04 PM
looks like a basking shark which is not a killer at all. They are rarely caught but are noe to be found washed ashore from time to time after they die

I happen to know exactly what shark that is... it is called a basking shark and its laying on its back in the pic. This shark not only eats plankton/krill and is completely harmless, but it was probably dying since they are never in shallow waters or the surf for that matter. I hate to break it to you guys but he is no more of a badass than a dude who robs a baby
