    From watching Shark Week, I know some sharkologists think people are more likely to be attacked when they're wearing black wetsuits. To the sharks, they look like seals.

    I saw the thread title and assumed a South Dakota guy was attacked while vacationing in Florida.

    Good thing I heard about this on CNN first or I'd think we were talking about S.D. "Special Delivery" Jones, greatest among all WWF losers.

    This is strange. I read somewhere that sharks don't usually attack people who are in groups. It's usually somebody swimming by himself.

    From the story, I got the impression he was trailing the main pack of swimmers. So, to a shark, he looked like the weakest seal in the pod.

    Statistically, this is true. Unfortunately, for the individual being attacked, it 100% happened.
