Who says TKD doesn't work.
Piffle. More accurately, who says it was a shark attack?
If it was an attack, she'd be missing the had that she put in it's mouth.
Lol, I just found this article this morning and Bill beat me to posting it. Here's the story that I found.

It's in all of the news feeds.
BJJ ain't got nothing on this!

Well, obviously it didn't intend to bite her ...it was a man-eating shark!
Shouldn't be woman eating shark? How sexist...
Perhaps it was a man who was eating a shark? One should always take The Sun with a huge pinch of salt, it rarely lets truth get in the way of a good story.
A lot of people maintain the right to defend your home but it seems that's only for humans...invade a shark's home and the shark attacks it's 'big bad' shark and there's even calls to kill it. You dangle yourself in something else's home and it tries to eat you it serves you right, find a swimming pool or somewhere where you don't disturb the wildlife.

All in the news feeds, indeed. I just read a couple of them that said she wasn't bitten and only had some scratches. Oh, my God, does this mean we can't rely on news broadcasts to give us the real deal? Oh, noooooooooooooo!

Being at the top of the food chain has its privileges. If we humans were to avoid invading anyone's home, we would not exist, since ants and cockroaches outnumber humans by a vast majority, live in all the places humans do, and technically, were here first. So I guess we should all go murder ourselves and let the insects have this world; after all, it's their home and we're 'disturbing the wildlife' by being on the planet at all.
Sometimes when I hear about all the horrible things we humans do to each other I think perhaps wiping ourselves out would be a good moral choice. Leaving the world to the so called lesser species might not be such a bad thing. At the very least we should respect other lives even if we can't respect our own species.

I kind of figured you'd feel that way. There is a certain type of environmentalist (or whatever term is permitted these days) that actually hates our own species and wishes we didn't exist. All I can say is, they are free to go first.
No I don't 'feel that way', I'm just sick to the stomach of violence, the deaths of good young people and man's general inhumanity towards others. In two weeks four good young peoiple from our brigade are dead one a young medic who I did know.. another funeral to go to, a young Pakistani girl was shot for wanting to go to school, a five year old girl was abducted and killed in Wales,families are killed in house fires that turn out to be arson, we've got over 300 accusations of sexual abuse against a celebrity here and it seems the BBC has turned it's back on it for over 40 years, the abused who were in mental hospitals and remand centres were punished for reporting the abuse by this 'man'. I'm not 'feeling that way' I'm just very depressed with things at the moment. My mother managed to mantain a faith in humans despite losing her family and spending years in a concentration camp but dear me it's hard not wonder when humans will ever learn.
I'm not an environmentalist I just think that we should live and let live. I don't hate our species I just despair sometimes. Besides, if we get in the oceans with sharks we aren't the top of the food chain anymore.

Depend on your approach, I guess.
In the sea, the shark IS the top of the food chain. We certainly are not.
or how fast you can swim
Ongoing education efforts... don't swim away from a shark. That's how prey acts.

I got a net that says differently. Let me know when sharks start hunting humans on land.
We're the top of all food chains. We eat everything. The only things that eat us get punished for it.
Despite the foolishness that some people believe, they don't hunt us in the sea. They're still apex predators.

How do you explain shark fin soup? I think sharks have much to fear from us, not the other way around. That said, I don't go around sticking my head in a lion's jaws. But I don't think there are any stuffed human heads gracing any lion's dens.
