A Nine-Year-Old Caught a Shark . . . from a Kayak?

On Sunday, a nine-year-old named Hunter Stevens was fishing with his dad off the coast of Galveston, Texas . . . and they caught a SHARK.

The video is on YouTube, and it’s getting a bunch of views. It’s extra-crazy because they were in a KAYAK when they hooked it.

It looks like it was about five or six feet long, but they released it after they caught it. And it’s actually the SECOND shark Hunter and his dad have caught in the last eight months. They caught a seven-footer in August.

You see the shark for the first time at :41, and the kid’s dad starts struggling to get the hook out at 1:55.

DAILY DUMBASS!

There aren’t many things that should guarantee you job security for LIFE . . . but DONATING A KIDNEY to save your boss’s life really SHOULD be enough. But it wasn’t for this woman. Glad I didn’t go this route.

47-year-old Debbie Stevens of West Islip, New York used to work at a company called Atlantic Automotive Group, which operates car dealerships. Her boss was 61-year-old Jackie Brucia.

In January of last year, Jackie said she needed a kidney to live, and her donor had been denied. So Debbie graciously offered to donate a kidney to save her boss’s life . . . and actually followed through with it last August. Jackie got the kidney and was saved.

But Debbie had some complications after the surgery, and missed some work. And she says Jackie called her at home to YELL at her for it. And KEPT yelling at her when she finally got back to the office.

Finally, Jackie FIRED Debbie . . . even though Debbie’s kidney is keeping her alive.

On Friday, Debbie filed papers with the New York Human Rights commission claiming she was SET UP by Jackie so she could get a kidney . . . then fired once the donation was made.

The most popular city in the country is????

Time to send CLINT EASTWOOD around the country to remind all the young punks it’s not cool to rip on Detroit anymore. Because they haven’t gotten the message.

Public Policy Polling just released a survey that ranked 21 of America’s biggest cities from most to least popular, and Detroit came in LAST.

Only 22% of people surveyed had a favorable opinion of Detroit . . . and 49% had an unfavorable opinion. That negative-27% difference was the worst in the country.

Only two other cities also had more negative than positive opinions. Oakland finished with a negative-18% difference and Los Angeles finished with a negative-7% difference.

Seattle finished as the most popular city in the country. 57% had a positive opinion and 14% had a negative one, for a 43% difference. Portland, Oregon was second-most popular with a 40% difference between positive and negative.

After Seattle and Portland, Boston came in third, then Atlanta, Phoenix, Dallas, New York, New Orleans, and Houston.

A Woman Clung to the Side of a Mini-Van During a Car Chase in L.A.

The local news in L.A. caught a crazy car chase yesterday. It happened in Whittier . . . just outside the city . . . after some idiot robbed a credit union. But here’s why it was so crazy.

In the middle of it, the driver slowed down on a side street, and a woman . . . possibly his girlfriend . . . jumped onto the SIDE OF THE CAR, rode there for about 20 seconds, then climbed through one of the windows.

They stopped about two minutes later, and police arrested both of them. The woman got out and surrendered. But to get the driver, they had to send in a K-9 unit.

The video timer counts backward: She jumps on at the 4:53 mark, she surrenders at 1:23, and they release the dog at :17.

YOUR DAILY DUMBASS(ES)

A nonprofit called In Defense of Animals just put out this list of experiments the government funded last year. They do it to expose the spending on animal testing. And, yes, testing on animals can be bad.

Although a few of these experiments sound AWESOME. We’re gonna focus on those. Here are some of the things the government paid to test in 2011 . . .

Hunger Versus Sex. Scientists got a grant to put hamsters on a diet and see how hungry they’d have to be before they chose food over sex. The answer was, with about 75% less food, they started focusing on eating over humping.

Lemon Causes Arousal? Researchers in Wisconsin got a grant for a test where they pumped in a lemon scent while male monkeys HAD SEX. Then they pumped lemon scent when the monkeys weren’t having sex. They got erections.

Cocaine Makes Jazz Better. Scientists found that rats preferred silence to music. But when they gave them COCAINE, the rats really, really liked MILES DAVIS. This, by the way, is the kind of research that makes America great.
