There's a strong argument for that.

Brains, hands, mask, yeah I can see that.

I'll go with polar bear.

They eat, they sleep, they make little bears. If you've seen the documentaries that include shots of the migration ... where people who own houses along the path have to stay indoors for days and have bars on their windows to keep the bears out, you'll see the similarity to the sharks.

Polar bears are cute and fuzzy, though, so people don't think of them with the same kind of fear that they do the sharks.

I happen to think sharks are cool.

Way cool.

I need to go to Baltimore Aquarium to stare at them again cool. (Last time I went I tricked my friends and their children into a wrong turn so I could go see them again!)

There was this one guy who actually interacted with them as if he were a polar bear... and they reciprocated.

They seem to have a bit more intellect than sharks as well, or at least personality.

It looks to me like everyone here has overlooked the obvious.

If Bradley Smith had equipped himself with a sensible defensive handgun, he would not have been harmed. He may have been able to host one helluva beach party with a skewered shark rotating over a crackling fire as well.

It seems his lack of preparedness in this regard has caused sorrow and discomfort to not only himself, but also to the community overall. Sad.

We all can learn something from this tragedy though. The accessability and use of a well suited personal defense handgun can be a lifesaver in a wide range of life's everyday situations, even surfing.

Hmmmm ....

Shark attacks tend to happen off the coast of Australia.

And New Jersey.

And California.

All places where one can't equip oneself with a sensible defensive handgun ...

Oh my god.

The sharks are behind gun control.

Run!!

Run for your lives!!!!

IIRC, he got eaten by them.

Just checked. He did, and it was Alaska, but it was brown bears.
