As I mentioned in the other (now rambling) shark attack string, that my 11 year old son and my Ex were at Fort Walton Beach where the first attack occured. My son had called to tell me that my Ex saw a shark, but he's 11 so he's not very good at distances. I emailed my Ex yesterday for confirmation...

I think ALOT that has to do with it also has to attributed to the success of Peter Benchley's "JAWS" . I don't recall this much "coverage" of such events, before that came out. For example, all the data shows more people being killed on bicycles every year, but that never gets th...

Just a clarification of something you said, Sam. Sharks are indeed fish. There are two (well, technically three) classes of fish. Sharks belong to the class Chondrichthyes , or cartilaginous fishes, as opposed to Osteichthyes or bony fishes. :) True enough!!! However that is not what I said or mean...

Yes all sharks, rays, and skates are related. They do not have a backbone in their body, to put it simply. And they are not really fish, like a snapper or a grouper or a cuda or a bass, etc. Their spines are made of cartilage. The closest sharks come to having a type of bone is there teeth. Also the...
