OK Richard, I understand that sharks are non-violent, But I wouldn't take my chances swimming around in there habitiat because of the simple fact that they might turn on you. And you can't say that it will not happen, Because even according to your "stats" 4 out of 57 died. The fact is still 57 got attack. I am not talking about death totals, I am talking about being in the water and getting bit. That beats out hot water contact and lighting Strikes. I was fucking around on the first comment buddy. Don't you have some outdoor adventure to go on, then come back and leave some post about how "the chances of drowning in the bathroom sink are greater then getting attack by a bear." damn mike, out of all of people that have been leaving comments since August of 2007, Loz and I are the first people you felt like you need to type back to, in less than 24 hours.

It's certainly a horrific way to go. But a rare one nonetheless. @Michael#2: Been diving, been in the ocean. Swam with sharks. And the fear *is* irrational. If it bothers you, don't dive/swim. @Michael: I’ll stick to believing the above linked stats from the Florida Museum of Natural History over your unfounded liberal hysteria that “non-American” shark deaths are simply unreported.

Hey mike who speaks in the third person, please go diving as much as humanly possible as you put it. the more you are in the ocean, the better chance you might get to see what real fear is. Because we don't want that bad little water faucet to take you out. What a bitch way to die. "Well Scuba Steve over here was doing dishes and he wasn't paying attention and the hot water got him." Fucking loser. And I really hope that contact with hot water thing is a joke or what richard’s thinks is a joke bacause fucking with sharks isn’t.

People died from sharks everyday. The attacks are not reported around here because if "they arn't americans, why should we care". Don't go in the ocean. And if you do, don't be surprised if you get a leg torn off. Bullshit. People died from sharks everyday.

I'd say your chances would increase ( at least above the tap water threshold ) the more time you spend in the ocean. ( and especially if it were New Smyrna Beach in FL ) irrational fear ? well .. yes and no .. you are more likely to be killed by hot tap water, yeah.. but your chances of coming into contact with hot tap water are far greater than ever meeting a shark.
