Harrison Williams, from Mindarie, near Perth in Western Australia, swam to the body of [a] deceased humpback whale and [sat] on it.

Despite several tiger sharks and at least one white shark circling the whale’s bloated carcass, Williams, an extreme sport lover, made the perilous swim over. Williams said “Basically the whale looked in distress and I tried to help it. But clearly I was too late.”

The whale has reportedly been in the ocean for several weeks, floating between Rottnest and Fremantle off the Western Australia coast.

And now, what you’ve all been waiting for…this year’s Crazy Motherfucker Cup is – as usual – awarded to an Australian.

About

I design video games for a living, write fiction, political theory and poetry for personal amusement, and train regularly in Western European 16th century swordwork. On frequent occasion I have been known to hunt for and explore abandoned graveyards, train tunnels and other interesting places wherever I may find them, but there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that I am preparing to set off a zombie apocalypse. Nothing that will stand up in court, at least. I use paranthesis with distressing frequency, have a deep passion for history, anthropology and sociological theory, and really, really, really hate mayonnaise. But I wash my hands after the writing. Promise.
