    Transcript:

    Recently, fishermen in Indonesia were astonished when they found an albino shark. They found the baby shark inside the stomach of a dead adult shark which was caught in their nets. But they weren’t shocked because it was an albino shark. What shocked them the most was that this shark only had one eye. Its one eye is located exactly in the middle of its head. It was a Cyclops shark! Me? I prefer one-eyed sharks; it makes it easier to escape them! Is this the result of nuclear contamination? What’s next? Godzilla?
