Airline food vs shark food.

Today’s news talked of a chemical scare at the Qantas Catering building near Mascot airport.   400 people were evacuated and 8 were taken to hospital as a precaution. This should come as no surprise - have you not tasted airline food?   

Some sharks in Egypt have been gnawing on the tourists, with a 5 attacks in one week.  The last attack was an elderly German lady who died after being bitten on the thigh and arm.  What is of concern is the comments by the Tourism Minister who said:

"We are getting marine biologists from abroad to assess the situation and why there was this change in biological nature," said Garana, referring to the repeated attacks, which one expert called unprecedented.
"This is unnatural. It has never happened before," he said. "We have no explanation."

Are you freaking kidding me?  This is perfectly natural.  Sharks eat meat – and guess what? We are meat.  It would be unnatural if the woman attacked the shark.  That would be unnatural.  Or if they woman and shark sat down for a nice vegan meal.  That would be unnatural.   And repeated attacks being unprecedented?  Have you not seen those nature documentaries Jaws, Jaws 2, Jaws 3-d and Jaws: The Revenge???   We like to think we are top of the totem pole when it comes to the food chain but in reality, something eats’ every one of us when we die.. And occasionally, something eats’ someone before hand. Don’t take it personally.. It’s just nature.

Look.. if it makes you feel any better.. Here is a photo of a 5m saltwater crocodile eating a bull shark at Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory.   What goes around comes around.   I think I know what happened here.  The river is called the Alligator River.  The shark probably thought.. “Alligators? They’re the little one’s right? No problemo.”  And then.. chomp.
