I wanted them to be a WTF kind of photos he could take with him for him and to break the ice with people in Korea. It did but he found out later he was working for the Korean mafia. He didn't know at the time, he just kind of fit in being he was a product of the 70's! Who knew!

Relating to the Headington Shark in how it came to be. It is sort of on the same sorts!
~~~~~'It went in beautifully as the postman was passing': the story of the Headington Shark. One April evening in 1986, Bill Heine was sitting on the steps opposite his newly purchased terraced house in Oxford, drinking a glass of wine, when he turned to his friend and asked a simple question: “Can you do something to liven it up?”
His friend, the sculptor John Buckley, provided an answer in the shape of an eight-metre (25ft) shark which would sit on his roof, perpetually appearing as though it had just crashed into the house from the sky. The fibreglass fish, which became known as the Headington Shark after the Oxford suburb, led Heine, a local journalist and businessman who died last week, into a six-year legal battle with the local council.
The process turned a relatively unremarkable street into a beloved local landmark and resulted in one of the most notable triumphs of British eccentricity over petty bureaucracy.
