August 4, 2011 Man Bites Shark

[CaliforniaMama]

I didn't realize until yesterday that it is shark week, so here you go!

Sharks aren't coming after us; we're coming to them. Humans and sharks have been able to share the Earth for millions of years without a whole lot of interaction. But the two species are coming into contact more frequently than ever . . .they don't venture onto our territory; we encroach on theirs.

Jaws aside, the risk of getting attacked by a shark is still much lower than getting killed by fireworks and, most likely, significantly lower than being killed in a vending machine accident.
