I was attacked by my lint roller and have bruises to prove it. Stupid, painful mistake!! Those things have nothing on waxing:!:

Did anyone see the YouTube video of the guy who lost his thumb to a moray eel? BTW--The guy was asking for trouble.

they replaced his thumb with a toe

Cil - that was amazing!

let's see, what are some lessons to learn from this guy? do not feed the eels!!! do not play with the eels!!!

I think I would have left my toe where it was. pretty amazing operation though!!!

feeding that Moray all of those weiners, I bet the guy is glad that the eel bit off only his thumb.

So three Sharks bit people in Florida over the weekend. Please tell me how a shark bite is considered an attack? When a spider bites you, do you go around saying that I was attacked by a spider? I know that news sells, but come on. If an animal has vicious looking teeth, does that make it an "attacking" animal if he bites you? The good news is that there was no news worth reporting this weekend.

Y'know, I've been thinking on this all afternoon. It's an interesting and original thought. What constitutes an "attack?" As said, mosquitoes bite the same way and so do ants, but we don't call that an attack. Only a bite. I've come to the conclusion that it has to do with size and ego. Ergo. If it's a big enough size--ie, dog or shark--and the human ego feels that it's a fair fight and winnable by man with enough luck and cunning, then it's an "attack." Since humans are bigger (and therefore mightier?) than ants or bugs, then it doesn't play to our sense of being fairly matched, so we condescend to calling an ant or bug attack a "bite." it would be too humiliating to the ego to call it anything else.

Just a theory.

Today, I attacked a couple of No-see-ums, with the intent to kill, and I successfully did just that -- killed 'em dead. Now if I just big off one of their toes, I would consider that just a bite, rather than an attack.
