Shark

[WooD]

A friend of mine got bit today by a small shark. He went to the hospital to see if it needed stitches, but they just cleaned it up, and sent him home.

Chances of getting shark bit are astronomical. I couldn't imagine what the odds are of getting bit two times. He should be able to surf the rest of his life without ever worrying about sharks now.

hopefully he doesnt end up with phycoligical scare. That happened to me when i got stung by a stingray spenk weeks very weary about touching the sand

Ive seen a few teeny sharks around mainly small sand sharks and baby leopard sharks but im told there are bigger fish in sea (scuse the pun)Whats worse is that if you wear a wetsuit you look exactly like a seal which obviously is bad news. But shark attacks are extremelly rare unless you live in south africa or something.

your probably more likely to get hit dead on the head with a nuke than being bit by a shark where i live

Uh-huh. Lucky you.

This one is still vivid in our memories.

I love living in SA!

brr, theirs great whites here. Less than one person a year gets bitten and noone were fatal. I would be traumatized if one bit me or saw me, i need to get a bright green wetsuit. + were i surf we see seals all the time.

You are more likely to get hit on the head with a coconut than get bitten by a shark or struck by lightening
(I dont know if that applies to the UK though)
