Bull shark the likeliest to attack people

We'd only need to exterminate three or four species of sharks, and there would never be another shark attack on a human. "Scientists" would still have 297 species of the fricking things to "study".

That's exactly what I've always said about Teddy, Hillary, Lawrence O'Donnell, Howard "Fruicake" Dean and various other "Democrats", "liberals", commies, traitors, MSM news anchors, college professors, etc., etc.

but..but..but..they are just doing what is natural.

The people they kill should have stayed out of their ocean.

I like your plan.

Bull sharks have also been reported as far up the Mississippi River as Alton, Illinois.

To be followed by a headline, which reads:

Liberal "Bull Sh@!" likelist rhetoric to attack people!

[highseasailor]

come on guy.try to remember we share this planet,and sharks were in the water first-its their natural habitat-

[spetznaz]

Finally! At least every attack will not be termed as a 'great white attack.'

Oh, and the way the media is getting into a frenzy over shark attacks is just silly. In fact falling coconuts kill 150 people per year .....15 times more than those killed by sharks! But i guess the media will not have 'summer of the coconuts' spiel.

Very interesting. Can you give me a citation or something? Because I would love to use that fact but I'm sure people will ask me for some citation or link or something.

Here is a link:

"Falling coconuts kill 150 people worldwide each year, 15 times the number of fatalities attributable to sharks," said George Burgess, Director of the University of Florida's International Shark Attack File and a noted shark researcher.

...falling coconuts kill 150 people per year...

That may be true but as someone you spent a lot of time in the ocean surfing as a teen, I would rather get konked to death by a coconut that killed by a shark.

[David1]

thanks

[David1]

yeah...getting eaten to death by another creature and then eventually being turned into its feces is not very appealing I would say. ;-)

[spetznaz]

I don't know ....I'd personally rather be taken out by a shark than to be negated by a coconut.

A third attack, on Friday, injured an Austian who was swimming in ankle-deep water off Boca Grande, Fla.

Ankle-deep water?! How do you swim in ankle-deep water?

[Lunkhead_01]

I always thought John Kerry and Teddy Kennedy were bull sharks. My wife and a waitress at Bickford's (a Boston area restaurant) convinced me I was only about half right. They are bullsh$t sharks.

[Cvengr]

How do you swim in ankle-deep water?

If sharks are present, ...very quickly,,,

[Dark Skies]

Each to his own, but coconuts kill with a lot less mess. Then also, I am neurotic when it comes to sharks. Too much time dangling my feet in the water...too many long paddles out to distant sandbars just because the waves were a little better.

How do you swim in ankle-deep water?

Or better yet, why bother...?

[Dark Skies]

"as if ankle deep water can save you from me... stupid sunbather, sit a little closer to the water's edge."
