Chumsickles for Old Hitler 8/12 '14
I'm watching "Monster Hammerheads" on Shark Week. The narrator hasn't clarified whether hammerheads occasionally dine on humans, but these divers are seeking sharks in excess of 12 feet. At the moment, they're seeking one nicknamed Old Hitler - a gigantic shark who, according to legend, has terrorized the fish in Florida's waters since WWII.
How, you ask, do these divers attract sharks? Silly me - I thought the way to invite sharks to one's location involves dumping chum into the water. Nope. Passé and very 2013. These divers make chumsickles. I suppose they're like McDonalds' chicken mcnuggets - comprised of ground up bits that have no other food use. Yum.
While these amazing, graceful creatures attract and fascinate me (hence my losing hours of my life one week each summer to the Discovery Channel), I remain quite grateful that my 4 1/2 yo's not a strong enough swimmer, yet, to request venturing out beyond the ocean's breakers!
