Shark Shield Bites Back

"Dissing" sharks can be very dangerous.

…there were 61 unprovoked shark attacks around the world in 2004; seven of these resulted in fatalities.

Silly? Out of the literally millions of people in the water, 61 were bit and 7 (seven!) died. I think I was pretty safe.

[Wheee The People]

I just pass gas in the water. It makes a kewl balloon in my swim suit, neat bubbles and it scares off everything for a mile away.

My Glock will work under water.

I think it is like anything else. These numbers are people who were worth reporting. I bet many shark attacks and deaths simply go unreported or at least don't get beyond the victim's village.

[R. Scott]

A very real possibly, but even including those it is not so great a danger that I will worry about it.

I'd love to see a shark. I don't know if the Atlanta Aquarium has a great white shark or not. If so, it would probably come over to the window and look at me in the same manner that I gaze through the counter glass at a bowl of meatballs at the deli.

From what I have read, sharks don’t like Long Pig – not enough fat.
Oh! How I used to like meatballs before I started getting in shape!

I keep hearing all the time about how shark attacks are often caused by the shark's failure to distinguish between humans and seals.

But every time I see one of these devices, it's color is black, just like a seal. Does anyone detect a failure to communicate here?

[Eaker]

Yes it will.

It will not chamber the next round though without a spring change.

But you can do that yourself.

Either or.
