So it's shark week. Watched a program where a guy free-swam (no protective cage) with bull sharks "for science".

Basically they started to thrash in the sand and muddy up the water and swimming faster and he got his *kitten* in the boat just in time BC one attacked the boat steps he was just on.

When I realized he was swimming with freaking bull sharks sans cage my first thought was "what the bloody hell is wrong with you?! Have you lost your mind?!"

When they started to swarm and mark-up the water I was like "oh *kitten*, run man, run!"

So yeah would you do what he did?

My short answer is no. Long answer is hell *kitten* no.

(Nah, man I don't mess with bull sharks)

    Not bull sharks since they're aggressive as all hell but I've snorkeled with nurse sharks and loved it.

    Those sharks are terrifying! I have a healthy fear of the masters of the ocean. I'll just snorkel with jellyfish.

    I disagree with my mother in law from time to time.

    Swimming with the sharks might be safer.

    I have scuba dived with sharks, but just a couple. And not aggressive ones.

    Hmmmm. . So who exactly was it that encouraged you to hop right into the water with this "big fish" ?.. someone close to you?. . someone that stands to gain from your gruesome and untimely demise perhaps?

    Holy crap, you could have lost a limb. You were about 20 seconds and a tourniquet away from being an after school special

    I've been skydiving, scuba diving, zip lining, atv'd up a volcano, so yes. I will do that. I will do anything that is terrifying.
