More scared of the idiots on the road texting & talking when they should be driving. More dangerous getting TO the water than ON the water.

Unless you count the summertime drunk a$$es on jetskis

saw this on my home site. Ill say it again.

1. Dont go to Africa...

2. Those Crocodiles have been eating people for 5000+ years.

That is all.

Coetzee Vs. Nature
Score: 26 1

Game Over.

We should all be so lucky to die a heroe's death doing what we love. Even if it is into murky water clutched in the mouth of something that was around when the dinosaurs' roamed.

If you kayak in LJ you might want to be carefull, I was checking the surf from the Scripps pier, and met a Scripps professor he told me they have sensors in the LJ canyon and there are some very large sharks in there. Wasn't there an indicent a long time ago where a scuba diver was swollowed hole by a great white with only his fins sticking out of the sharks mouth?

More scared of what the damn seals might do than the tax man.

If you read the WHOLE story about that shark swallowing the diver........page two states:

"....The diver escaped the clutch of the giant beast with the help of a mermaid who distracted the shark while he used a fingernail to cut its belly from inside out. The escape was a once in a lifetime event, and could not have happened had he trimmed his nails."

My ass...
