I have to say the basking shark one is winning right now. I'm going to close this on Friday this week so now you know what you have to beat.

just a comment...

I didn't get it until I googled an image of a "basking shark." Yikes! If you don't know what one is, do it!

I'm not even trying, because I think there are a lot of really funny entries here.

The winner is lims with "in my next life, i hope to be a basking shark". He gets 6 months' donor status. Congratulations.

Basking sharks are the second largest fish in the world. They go around with their mouths agape in order to catch their food - they are filter feeders - those people in the photo are real - they are not in any danger unless they're actually about 2 cm tall and right in front of the camera.

Here are the two photos for comparison (shark courtesy of Wikipedia).
