20-Word Fiction (7/10): Help with Math

Today, we are going with an image of Michael Caine from "Educating Rita" (1983), which was based on a play that we were fortunate enough to see at Triad Stage in Greensboro, NC, a few years. Caine lost the Oscars that year to Robert Duvall who won for "Tender Mercies."

Here is today's 20-Word Story of the Day, which we wrote ourselves:

"Suzy wanted help with her algebra homework, so she hired a Yale professor. He didn't know one freaking thing. Pathetic!"

To those of you who are Yale University alumni, this is a work of fiction!

Things We Learned from the BBC Today- Man's Body Found Inside Shark




WARNING: The following entry contains information that some readers may find disturbing. Well, you have been warned.

According to the BBC and other media outlets around the world, body parts belonging to a local Bahamian man named Judson Newton, 43, were found inside a captured 12-foot tiger shark (like the ones pictured here).

The shark was captured by another local resident off New Providence Island in The Bahamas in an area that is iornically called "Jaws Beach" because the infamous 1987 film "Jaws the Revenge" with Michael Caine, which brought an abrupt end to the Jaws series, was filmed there.

The fisherman told the press that that he noticed a leg poking out of the shark's mouth when he brought it to his boat. The shark was later turned over to authorities who also discovered arm and legs parts upon cutting the shark open.

It is unclear if Newton was alive when the shark ate him. Newton had been boating with friends in the area in late August before he went missing.
