I once got chased by a shark >
I was on a boogie board being pulled by a speed boat... skimming along and i look toward the beach and everyone is jumping up and down and yelling at me (i couldn't hear them of course). A short while later the boogie board nosedived and i shot underwater. The boat stopped and turned around to pick me up... that's when they saw the shark fin coming at me. They sped over quick and pulled me out. I was oblivious to the shark up until that point. :-\
I'd love to try some shark fin soup ;D - Say no to Internet Explorer 6.

What a "fish" story ;D
I'm glad you've survived (with all your limbs) to tell the tale!
The problem is, humans are overfishing sharks to the point that many species may disappear. This will throw the oceanic ecosystems out of balance and contribute to the loss of other species

I'll report back when my Second Life Vegetarian Shark fin soup shop is open for business!

Most hard-core gamers say that the experience in SL is pedestrian. Games have way better graphics and motion, but you are limited to within the game. - "I'm an individual, just like everyone else."

Today was a day spent unpacking boxes of small stuff. I had been temporarily staying with a co-worker until I found this place a week and a half ago. After of unpacking for a while, I zoned out into Second Life and visited the NASA and sat on the Lunar Excursion Module. That's me (my avatar) siting on the top of the LEM.
After NASA, I went over to the Isle of Wyrms (sp?). There I found a stage and a few people who listened as I played percussion in a Fantasy Island (not the TV show).
One that same island, I strolled over to relax on the river with a scenic view in the background. Here a wide and close photo of me contemplating my next big move.
Second Life has opened a whole new vista (not the OS) for me. I do get out, but I think I have found a way to have fun during the cold months - BUT SUMMER IS ON IT'S WAY!!! YIPPEE!!!! - "I'm an individual, just like everyone else."
