New York City shutters beaches after shark bites “mystery alien fish” in two!

The Bagel's sweaty summer of discontent continues…

The ´Ol NYC can take a chunk outta ya in many ways.

Every corner reveals some new chic and trixy way to liberate you of everything from self-esteem to the loose change in your sack.

And now you can add the loosing of a femoral artery by way of our old pals Selachimorpha.

The beaches of Hempstead (Lido, Point Look Out, Long Beach –The Quiksilver Pro was run there) are a pretty haven where the suburbs meet the sea. They rest about thirty minutes, or five hours if you take the Cross Bronx Expressway, from Manhattan.

As of today, where the weather hovered around ninety-six degrees, those beaches are closed.

Locals received this message via text today: *Shark Sighting Update* A second shark has been spotted in the water near Town of Hempstead beaches. Lifeguards have red flagged the strip of water as per the NYS protocols. Due to this second sighting, swimming remains prohibited at certain Town of Hempstead beaches: Civic Beach, Lido Beach, Lido West Beach, Town Park, Point Lookout and Town Park at Sands. Lifeguards will continue to monitor the situation and determine when it is once again safe for swimming to resume.

Remember Clash of the Titans ?

The Stygian Witches?

“A TITAN VS. TITIAN!!!!!”

Apparently, being a member of the alien family with a wing span of an NBA point guard is not enough to win a game of tag verses Jaws.

Thresher sharks are common in the waters off Long Island during the summer months as the Gulfstream warms the waters, but their cute little mouths probs can’t incise the hunk of flesh ripped outta this carcass.

Any marine biologists care to take a guess what left this dental impression?
