Apparently you're also more likely to be killed by a cow.

I didn't even know cows could swim.

Great whites roll their eyes back - or some sort of protective membrane covers over their eyes one or 'tother - you may be gouging for a while.

Lets just hope it doesnt nibble your arms off first - anyone seen Monty Python - but a mere flesh wound!!

I thought that too. The same reef sharks that the dive leaders take you to, and point at seriously to make you think they are earning your money.

all this does is make more people post more on spiders, sharks because they think you're struck dead as soon as you walk out the door, eh.
