Shark Week

Shark week on the discovery channel has once again reared its ugly head. Massive amounts of conflicting information thrown at us from opposite camps. One side wants us to believe that sharks are fluffy sweet care bear like creature that feel guilty when they mistake you for a junior mint. The other side is usually missing a body part that was borrowed and not returned by said toothy care bear. Personally I think they have run out of ideas for shows. Most of the weeks programming consists of documentaries from as far back as the 90's. About two years ago I watched a scientist try and proof that you could stand in the water while sharks were feeding and not get bitten. He is one of the fluffy shark people. Well Mr. Scientist had his calf muscle removed when one of the sharks decided he did not feel like waiting his turn in the chow line. The really funny thing is that the following year they had this whole two hour segment to figure out what went wrong. I can clear this up for you guys. You went in the water with sharks. There is a reason why you have to sign a waiver before doing shark diving adventure at resorts. We common folk may not have your fancy schooling but we know that anything with big teeth is best left alone.
This year I plan to watch some guy who plans to hypnotize a great white in open water. To me this translates to watching some guy get eaten so next years memorial about his wonderful life will make sense to me.
