How many of you older members of this forum rely more on Google or Bing for your memory than just thinking? Well, I certainly do.
For example: I happend to remember seeing a photo of a surfer flying down a large wave, and right under his board was a large shark, not two or three feet below him!
Since I was curious, I googled this and guess what? I could not count the number of photos of similiar situations! Don't believe me, go look for yourself. Now I understand that a lot could be faked, and created by photoshop, but it was still an amazing and increadible shot.
Now it is because humans aren't tasty? If we were, there would be a lot more one arm, one legged, or disappeared surfers, don't you think? Dont forget Australia has lost one Prime Minister and I believe I read just recently another person disappeard there while surfing.
Folks, I have done a lot of crazy and dangerous things in my life, but there's no way I am going to paddle out into the ocean on a surfboard amidst a sea full of large sharks and pretend to be a saltine cracker with a slice of baloney or ham on top! In my mind that is playing Russian Roulette by loading the revolver and only taking one shell out! What say yee! Just Sayin...RJS
