Just for the record, white sharks are not on the endangered list.

I have an Uncle 70+ yrs old....was a lobsterman, charter captain, commercial fisherman all his life....he got the opportunity to fly along some well known shoreline (Horseneck Beach to name one) and told me he saw pods upon pods of sharks cruising the coast within casting distance at beaches....during the day while people swam feet away.

My wife showed me a post that stated about 100 people are killed each year by cows (kicking or stomping) and only about 10 per year by sharks. Not sure if it is true or not, but I don't see Cow Week coming on anytime soon. Me, I am sticking with Shart Week on Southpark.

Probably more true than you'd think.

I may start referring to this as "Shark Weak", based on the caliber of the shows they are throwing at us!

They'll probably wrap it all up in a nice neat package on Sunday with an entire night of "air jaws" episodes, including some that they make up in the CGI cutting room!

you mean? We're not even SAFE on Dry land???

i've heard of Pigs flying....hopefully they don't teach cows how to do it.

i just read/heard that SHARKS use 80% of their muscles compared to
humans that use only 40%.... that makes them twice as strong
than us Humans right off the get go.

I think as long as you stay away from anything bigger than you you will stand a fighting chance. Given the 80/40 rule, you might want to stay away from anything more than 1/2 as big as you. Basically, nothing bigger or smarter than a fifth grader. Excluding snakes, spiders, pitbulls, and genetically mutated sea bass with laser beams.
