Another Bright Spot in this Economic Recession!!!

With everything that has occurred during this economic recession, I have found another (see post below for the first one) bright spot. According to the International Shark Attach File, which tracks all shark attacks at the University of Florida, shark attack are on the decline due to the economic recession. This is all speculation though on the part of biologist George Burgess of the University of Florida. In 2008, shark attacks dropped to their lowest level in five years because many people may have stopped vacationing at the beach. Only 59 people were attacked in 2008 compared to the 71 in 2007. This is contributed to the current recession because similar drops occurred in 2001, when we went through that recession. Do not worry though, Burgess expects shark attacks to go up over the next 10 years as the economy recovers. So remember, when we finally make it out of this crisis and begin going back to the beach, more people will be attacked once again. How refreshing is that to know?

The article is found at http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/economicrecessionmeansfewersharkattacks in case you think I am making this up. I could not even believe it as I read it. First, millionaries are cutting back on what they spend on their affairs and now, sharks are not attacking as many people. What weird statistic will we want to know next?

Enjoy!!!
