I am watching Discovery Channel and they are advertising their upcomming Shark Week, it shows 2 guys standing knee deep in water with sharks swimming around them, it looked like someone was chumming the water from the bank and one guy was saying something like "We are fine as long as we dont thrash around, you see sharks just wont attack us" then you see a different shot with blood in the water and something like "The anatomy of the shark bite, parental guidance is recommended".

Next we will see headlines that some sharks eats some kids replaying what they saw on TV.

Plain silly

I think the whole idea about swimming with the sharks is stupid.
Lets teach the sharks that following boats = possibly source of food.
People swimming in a cage = possible source of food.
People swimming in water = Food.
People = Food

Australian beaches go to a lot of trouble to keep the sharks away from them, and now we have people teaching the sharks to go towards people and they will get food. Just stupid.

Edit - Spelling.

Perhaps, but in the mean time he is a novel source of comedy. As safe as I think he is (petty camera tricks), I just hope he doesn't die before making fun of him stops being funny.

Steve Irwin...
One day I've gotta visit his park.

You have to wonder about his parents, who taught him to hangle crocs.

Crikey! He almost got me! I got to watch it with this one. One bite from him could prove fatal! Isn't he a beaut!?

He's a carnie? That explains a lot.

I can't really talk trash about the guy. I mean, after all, he is still alive isn't he?

Everyone who gets born gets killed dead eventually. Well, almost: there are two people listed in the Bible who avoided that.

i think, since there not supposed to taste of death and will pass through it in the twinkling of an eye, it just means they won't be dead a measurable length of time.
