More humans are killed by falling coconuts than sharks.

[lazyitus]

No bloody wonder. I mean, how often do you hear of sharks falling out of trees?

Bloody hell, if a 'ert big shark fell on my swede from up high I reckon it would smart!

[Cooky]

Christ thats a lot.

Have to say they are very very scary when up close and personal. Was in Belize and happened across a dozen or so that deceided to come inside the reef and have a nosey at us 'playing' in some of the underwater caves. I was right down on the sea-bed and as I looked up one brushed passed. I nearly sh!t myself...seriously if I'd have known what it was I probably would have. Initaly I thought It was one of the other lads but then I got to look into its black soul-less eye Brrrr...still gives me shivers some 20 years on.

They are mainly harmless and genuinely curious and not agreesive towards humans, but still I'd rather avoid at all costs.

Live and let live is my take.

[CaptainSlow]

the figure I heard was over 150,000,000.

No.

Those are lawyers

There is a difference.

lawyers or sharks?


there is a similarity though

[MiniMan64]

I've told those sharks before, smoking kills.

[Rusty Arches]

I wonder, if sharks and lawyers are so similar, can you punch a lawyer in the nose to get rid of it?
