Of course, the sharks have been eating the humans too. Hmmm . . . flesh, blood, water -- a type of soup, no? And they do just take an arm or leg, and leave the rest to die. Hmmm . . . maybe not so different after all |

Never heard of this problem. Is it a recent escalation?

I remember last year it twas the same thing, shark attacks happening in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. But dang! When you don't live near an ocean, and only get to visit it once a year, you REALLY want to be in the water! So we went in anyway! The incredible LURE of the ocean is really something to me. I wish I could live on the oceanside, and behold it every day, and feel it's winds, and breathe in it's salty atmosphere on a daily basis. Sigh. Dunno, last year the tides were so rough. I'm talking white water crests everywhere on the shoreline 100 feet out. Dunno, I guess I thought that sharks wouldn't be in all that roughness when I went in last year, would be swimming round the calmer areas. I have to wonder how calm the seas were when these people were attacked recently this year? May also make a difference. I mean, last year, if I wanted to get past all the cresting waves, I had a long row to hoe man, gettin slammed on my arse and thrown four feet backwards quite a many a time! Was kinda fun actually, hehe. Remember grabbing this raft and trying to get on it when a wave came in next to me a good three feet above my head, crested right on top of my head. Think I spun around underwater head-over-heels in a ball about 7 rotations LOL. Came up on shore coughing water looking like so much seaweed LOL. But I get off the topic here... Yorick! You say humans are more dangerous to a shark than the other way round! Well, guess it depends eh? I mean, if you are a human in the water, your movements are much slowed, and in comparison to a shark, you are completely vulnerable. I mean, take you and a shark fighting on land, of course, you could punch and kick and run, etc. and ultimately win. But, in the water, your punches and kicks are hugely slowed, and have little impact on a shark. And as for running, well, good luck on that one... Go for the eyes Boo go for the Eyes!!! Yaaaaaaaaahhhh! ------------------ |
