MIAMI : Media reports of shark attacks on humans, while rare, rose
slightly in 2004 to 61 worldwide, and will rise more, as interest in
shark attacks increases, said a study out Monday.
The 2003 International Shark Attack Report of Shark Attack Reports
reported 61 unprovoked shark attack reports by ravenous reporters,
including seven about deaths: two in Australia; two in the United
States; and one each in Brazil, Egypt and South Africa.
The reports rose above 57 in 2003, but were fewer than 63 in 2002, 68
in 2001 and 78 in 2000.
It has been known that when sharks gather in groups, particularly in
transparent shallow water, it can trigger a veritable media feeding
frenzy.

That sounds pretty nasty, but as I live in a landlocked state, its a
much bigger worry around these parts that some goddamned swamp snake
will slither up into your toilet and get an unwelcome grip on yer
weiner. Fuck sharks, snakes are EVERwhar.

Mars needs sweeping
When I take action,
I'm not going to fire a $2 million missile
at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt.
It's going to be decisive.
