the shark may have thought it was the same kid.

(we probably all look the same to them)

Likely the same shark?

Possible but unlikely. There are a hell of a lot sharks off the American coast right now and the attacks had all the hallmarks of a typical "mouthing" rather than an attack. My bet is that if a shark mouths a person in the water and decides it's not food, they're unlikely to do the exact same thing only hours later.

Sharks are fucking cool, although somewhat terrifying. We had a very large great white breach about 80m from the boat only weeks ago. We decided that was a very good time not to bring in any fish.

"We're gonna need a bigger boat."

About 500 feet. With nuclear power.

I saw that!

Whales are big. Really, really big, and will fuck you up.

They were lucky to get out of that alive.

the universe just expanded, while we weren't paying attention.

[sparks]

Indeed it did. Yet, it is so bloody huge after 13.5 Billion years that any expansion of just a day is barely noticeable even if one is paying attention.

[stanky]

sure, a drop in the bucket...

but do you know how many acres of new space we picked up?

[sparks]

Not a clue.

And, is it actually new space or just the same old space with a make-over?

[arthwollipot]

It's the same space, it's just bigger now.
