    Just about 12 miles south of where I live.

    What's that saying 'Reality bites'

    That's 32 'unprovoked attacks' in my county alone in the last 2 years.

    Teen bitten by shark, Pinellas officials say

    ST. PETE BEACH - A teen is recovering today after she was bitten by a shark in the Intracoastal waters off Boca Ciega Drive....

    Some residents say they've stopped swimming in Boca Ciega Bay since a fatal shark attack in 2000

    Nebraska. Hardly anyone dies of shark bites in Nebraska.

    When they do, foul play is generally suspected. Then again, in Nebraska, if someone is killed by chickens they also suspect fowl play.

    Oh no. We've discussed chickens before.

    You're going to have to be sent to sensetivity training. Everyone here has heard about my bad childhood experience with a vicious chicken (is there any other kind?) and should realize the traumatic flashbacks I have when confronted with the imiage of violent chickens.

    I love chickens! Have some. Only one rooster attacked; gave him away and he was killed when a tree fell during the night. Karma!

    That's okay. The mention of Apple reminded me that I could kill some time by catching up on "Stuff White People Like"
