hehe, no.
Not sharks in lakes.
But sturgeon yes.
Once my dad told me, as I was learning to waterski, that sturgeon will nip at your toes...I was 7!
Those things can get freaking huge, I think the ogopogo is just a giant sturgeon.
I heard that great whites can get upto a speed of 60 km/hr. That's why they come right out of the water when they're going for something on the surface. I think you'd die from impact before getting eaten. I also heard if its a smaller shark, try to jab it in the eyes.

i made the mistake of watching a shark documentary right before i went to Kauai (one of the biggest shark attack places on the planet)..
nothing like a relaxing time in the ocean fearing imminent death every second via being torn apart by razor sharp teeth

Just thinking about them gives me the creeps. Thing is, I am fascinated by them. What amazing animals.

My sister's childhood surfer friend was torn to shreds by a shark when we lived in Barbados...very sad.
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta |

i live in shark attack central but i'm more afraid of stingrays. you should see me shuffling down the beach like an idiot because i'm afraid to pick up my feet. you can lose your leg (and worse) from stingray hits.
to be fair, we don't usually get the superhuge sharks down here like they do on the west coast, just the ones that chew you up and spit you out with a few more "character marks" on your body.

As gory as it might look, you'd probaby go numb, into shock and pass out pretty quickly.
and then you'd drown.
Hehehehe, that last line has cheered me up.

I'm afraid of the sasquatch. And also of the fact that all I'm able to add to threads are references to earlier threads.

Hey speaking of Sharks has anyone seen the movie "Open Waters"... atleast that's what I think it was called.
If you've seen it, you'll remember it... just thinking about it makes me throw up a little bit inside of my mouth. |

That would be me.
I almost fell asleep during "Open Water." If anything, that movie decreased my fear of sharks. Now a film about giant angry stingrays, that would keep me away from the beach.
