As Maddie noted yesterday, it's now August. And what does August bring? Fear, mostly. High murder rates, disappointing election results, the death of your summer fling, blackouts, heat-exhaustion, looting, etc. And Shark Week.
Today's Advice
I've never actually watched Shark Week. It isn't that I've avoided it; I just don't care. My experience with Shark Week is limited to the bit from 30 Rock where Tracy Morgan tells the page to "Live every week like it's Shark Week." This seems like bad advice to me. Try this instead: "Live every week like you just found out you're pregnant."
Today's Shark: River Shark
Contrary to popular belief there ARE freshwater sharks. Just something to think about for 5 seconds, which is longer than a shark can think about anything at all.
Today's Recommended Snack
Sharks aren't known as picky eaters, but there's one thing they crave: blood. Try it.
I'm not sure how Shark Week became such a "thing" but I wish it would go away! This post is the first step towards making that dream a reality.
