So I was reading this site about swimming with sharks. I found this interesting and rather than look it up I decided I'd just post here and see if anyone had heard of it...

Quote:
# Do not bleed. It is a cardinal principle that if you are injured, either by accident or by intent, you must not bleed. Experience shows that bleeding prompts an even more aggressive attack and will often provoke the participation of sharks that are uninvolved or, as noted above, are usually docile.
# Admittedly, it is difficult not to bleed when injured. Indeed, at first this may seem impossible. Diligent practice, however, will permit the experienced swimmer to sustain a serious laceration without bleeding and without even exhibiting any loss of composure. This hemostatic reflect can, in part, be conditioned, but there may be constitutional aspects as well. Those who cannot learn to control their bleeding should not attempt to swim with sharks, for the peril is too great.


So I read further down and I figured out it's fake. But since I put the effort into this post, it's going up.

No, this is just a joke... follow the link and read it, it's funny (but repetitive at the end).
