Subject: NOT Pig-Wrestling with giiii but Scooters & Sharks
Rich,
Your post is one anecodote you won't share, one "suspect" and one "hunch".
These are data?? From a scientist?
The issue is not whether a shark thinks you look like a lure when it runs
across you riding a scooter, but whether the noise or the EMF really
attracts them from some considerable distance away. If that were true, I
would think that every boat would be attacked, instead of the other way
around. And the Dude and John would actually get to see some sharks
instead of Australian butt cracks vomiting over the rail, when they go
there next year. (Yes, this was a crack about Australian butts). But, if
this is true, and not just another shark myth, I'd like to hear/see some
actual data, anecdotal or otherwise.
Still holding my breath for the facts, just the facts, Ma'am
