— -- It's terrifying, yet oddly adorable.

As a gift for his newborn nephew Mikey, 43-year-old Joseph Reginella of Staten Island, New York, decided to build a bed resembling a shark devouring an ocean liner.

"I just have a strange sense of humor and I do make props for a living," says Reginella, a freelance sculptor and creator of ToxicTeddies.com. "It's hard to believe that people like it this much."
