So, as I'm sure you're all well aware, it is the second best time of the year. It's shark week on the Discovery Channel. (The best time of the year being barbarians week on the History Channel.)
So, of course, I'm watching it loyally. But I'm so sick of all of the scientists and shark experts trying to "dispel myths" about sharks. Okay, okay, I get it already. They aren't evil. But every time there is a story about a shark attack there are three experts on saying how the shark wasn't really hungry, it was just curious. Or it just mistook the human for a seal because the water was murky.
Oh yeah, that makes sharks so much less frightening.
"Ok, don't worry! We've got you back on the boat, you've lost most of your blood and your right leg looks like dog food but that's ok. The shark just thought you were a seal and spat you out when you tasted funny! Isn't that cool!"
