“As someone who prefers his internal organs to remain on the inside, however, I found it harder to toe the party line. The odds of being bitten by a shark are almost zero. But for a few unlucky people, the crucial part of that sentence is "almost." In much the way my grandfather once ate several salmon-flavored dog biscuits thinking they were gourmet crackers, sharks occasionally--but very memorably--confuse people for seals. Surfers, with seal-shaped boards and dark wetsuits, are particularly susceptible to such mixups.”
