Why a shark and not a velociraptor, Randall? 199.27.128.71 00:34, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
Does anyone else think that the reason why the shark and Megan return is because Cueball caught them with a boomerang? Z (talk) 16:24, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
SAFTEY WARNING- Do not attempt to catch a actual boomerang! They are throwing weapons, and even if it does curve around back towards you, it isn't any less a thrown weapon! Attempting to catch one will probably cause you serious harm. -Pennpenn 108.162.250.162 00:15, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
