3D Pool

Use video projectors on the walls and floor of a pool to turn it into any kind of 3D landscape you want. It will allow you to take a swim anywhere in the world you want or if you like video games you can program it to simulate real-life sea-swim. If you are a tough guy and want to increase your speed to Michael Phelps levels you can put a special close-up version of Jaws and Crocodiles on. The next Olympic medal will soon be yours to claim :)

shark-bitten surf boards

mount it on the wall and you have a story to tell about how you fought off a shark attack. a lot of girls will be impressed by it. what about a new surf shop where you can buy shark-bitten boards and skis, fake or real. usually genuine survivors of shark attacks would not part with their mementos but some of them might sell them for the right price. since there will be few of those surfers around there will be a need to create fake shark bites and scratches on the boards. the concept of showing off a personal sporting item that came out of a fight with an animal is something that doesn't yet exist and if you are not good making up a fancy story to sell to your friends then you can download one online or use the one that comes with the board you just bought!

What's your impression of Obama's beliefs on war?

My impression is that Obama doesn't believe in war and wants to stir the world in that direction. That's not to say he doesn't believe in the use of force to go after terrorists in Pakistan. From his speeches and interviews, however, I rarely get the impression that in the back of his mind he seriously contemplates an attack on Iran or North Korea as the right policy, even if forced into that situation. Excluding another direct attack on America, I have the feeling Obama might be the first President to end his term(s) without presiding over a war.

Fludicrous Masks

Oink! Don't you think people tend to panic over nothing? 60 cases in the U.S. is not a reason to walk around in masks. Thousands die every year from regular flu, so what makes 60 a pandemic? What's fludicrous is that people wearing masks touch everything with bare hands then reach under their masks to touch their face, scratch their nose, eat food, etc without washing hands or sanitizing. If you must wear the mask, wear the whole attire, you know gloves and stuff, buy the mask in different color to match the rest of your clothes and print your name on it. I think I want an array of them to match my outfits too.

Awww, we haven't had a proper media frenzy this year so they've got to do something!!

I think people like to think it's the end of everything. It all makes me laugh. Now watch. You're going to be the next victim.

Uncaged shark feeding accident. Who's to blame?

I just read about a fatal accident that happened with a tourist that paid to swim among sharks. Many companies lately offer clients the opportunity for uncaged encounters with tiger sharks and great hammerheads, particular species which are known to Attack humans! They basically throw fish and meat into the water to attract a group of sharks and they then dive into the water to get very close to them. This is a dangerous activity.

Usually when a shark will attack a surfer or people swimming near a beach the authorities will try and locate the shark and kill it so that it doesn't attack again. In the case of uncaged shark feeding where people invite the sharks and deliberately swim with them unprotected who is to blame? Should the shark that made the attack be located and exterminated? Or should the companies that offer this service be sued?

I am also curious if the customers/tourists are asked to sign before they try this activity that they recognize this is an extreme and dangerous sport therefore the company devolves all responsibility if an attack happens! This is Crazy!!! What do you think?
