I hate to bring up a negative post about sharks, but I saw a really cool 
special on shark attacks on surfers this weekend.  Seems as if sharks have 
really bad eyes (Sorry Badger01...) and mistake paddling surfers for seals 
or other tastey morsels.  Some great stories about seeing something rise 
out of the waves and go after them.

One other thing.  When I was much younger I was down in Hilton Head, SC a 
few days before a tropical depression blew in.  In a foot of water you 
could see small (4-6 inch) baby sharks swimming around.  We thought it was 
cool so we would catch them in buckets to get a closer look (don't worry 
we released them unharmed).  Is this normal behaviour?  Was it because of 
the impending storm?
