This is why I prefer swimming pools

*Sharks can detect the heartbeats of other fish
*Mako sharks have been known to jump into the very fishing boats that are pursuing them.
*Bull sharks have been known to kill hippopotamuses in African rivers
*Approximately 10 times more men than women are attacked by sharks (though this doesn't ease my mind any)
*While in a feeding frenzy, some sharks bite their own bodies as they twist and turn
*A 730-pound mako shark caught off Bimini in the Bahamas contained in it's stomach a 120-pound swordfish--with the sword still intact
*Lemon sharks grow a whole new set of teeth every two weeks
*Sharks have a sixth sense. They can navigate by sensing changes in the earth's magnetic field
*Sharks will continue to atteck even when disemboweled
*Greenland sharks have been observed eating reindeer that fall through ice
*Some sharks can detect one part of blood in 100 million parts of water

So go ahead and scuba dive in those crystal-blue, bath-tub warm waters. Slip ont hat wet suit and dive down to explore. That's their territory, and they were here first. Okay, i give up......they win! Maybe, just maybe, if a shark and his family move into the house next door, I'll be a little more open minded about getting in the ocean.
