I was at the dentist today and had to watch Al Roker for the first time ever. I sure hope he isn't reading this so that I'm not silenced by his thugs, but man, that guy is a lame ass. He was making silly faces and screwing around with Elmo and just hamming it up. What does this have to do with weather? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying all of this because he's black, I just think he's stupid.

During his show there was a poll "which are you afraid of more, rip currents or shark attacks?" I thought that was a pretty silly poll, but it got me wondering, has anybody on MacNN been attacked by a shark?

I think Al Roker is also a member of the Black Crusaders, along with Bill Cosby, Oprah Winfrey, and Gordon from "Sesame Street."

I saw a really large shark last weekend at Destin while in the water.

The sighting started a discussion with all my friends at the beach about shark attacks. We all pretty much agreed it would be cool to be able to say you've been bitten by a shark if it left only a small scar. Once you start losing digits, limbs, skin, muscle, etc., it starts sucking.

My father attacked a shark once. It was swimming uncomfortably close, so he punched it. (Or so he tells it.)

Nice. I once grabbed a stingray and held it down while I pulled a hook out of it mouth.

I once tamed a sushi roll that kept coming unrolled. It was hell.

You just became infinitely cooler in my book.
NOTE FOR CLARIFICATION: That's not to say that you weren't previously.

Predicting my life span made you decide to post more carefully, huh?

Don't be bitter towards me because I can predict the future accurately. It just makes you look petty and small.

On that note, has Dakar posted lately? He's running close to his deadline.
