So There Were Three Mexican Shark Fisherman

No, it's not the start of a joke. It's actually the start of a true story. Check this one out:

Three shark fisherman from San Blas, Mexico set out to fish on October 28, 2005. But mechanical problems drove their ship out to sea, where they ran out of gas. Nine months and nine days later, they were found drifting at sea by an asian tuna boat. They apparently survived by eating raw fish and drinking rain water. They were found 5,500 miles to the west of San Blas, Mexico near the Marshall Islands. My take on the story- they had a nice little nine month vacation on the Marshall Islands, away from their wives (okay, just kidding).
