I�ve always been under the impression that shark attacks happen quite often. But recently I learned that that�s not true. Shark attacks, apparently, are at the bottom of the list of potential dangers encountered in water recreation.
In fact, a coconut is more likely to prove fatal than a shark because coconuts kill more people every year � about 150 worldwide - than sharks do. The number of fatalities caused by falling coconuts is 15 times higher than the number of fatalities caused by encounters with sharks.
How�s that for a kick in the head? Er... bonk on the head...
It�s true; you really do learn something new every day.
Hey, watch out for those coconuts!
