Some stats released today on CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/science/02 ... index.html

They called it a dull year for shark attacks. Hmm...

Was surfing at La Jolla Shores one day when the headless carcass of a seal washed up, went through the lineup and ended up on the beach.

Oh sorry, this was about SEA LIFE!

That's probably due to global warming, less ice, more water for them to hunt in...
