Let's go wrestle a shark, shall we?

You know that fool, Steve Irwin? The man with seemingly no self-preservation that goes jumping on backs of crocodiles that are four times his size? The one that nearly gets killed on a daily basis by creatures like, alligators, crocodiles, hippos, lizards, elephants, snakes, spitting cobras and other various animals that any sane human being would look at and go "Hell no I'm not going near that thing!"

Well I do believe that I've found someone that's higher than him in the top ten list of crazy-ass people.

Forget Alligators, This Expert Wrestles Great White Sharks



While I am a huge fan of conservation and protection of the Great White Shark, and while I am a shark fanatic, and would gladly go in a shark cage to see Great Whites in their natural ocean habitat.... I sure as motherloving hell ain't gonna hop on it's back and wrestle it!!

....has anyone ever noticed that all these fools (Steve Irwin, Austin Stevens, Brady Barr, Jeff Corwin, the 'Snakebuster', The Barefoot Bushman) are male? Never has Steve Irwin's wife Terri jumped on the back of a 17ft long male croc, or gotten venom spit in her eyes by a cobra. While I agree with preserving the worlds ecosystems and understanding this world's animals... I'm not going to go piss these creatures off - they can, and will, kill me. I am not going to go and corner the Spitting Cobra, crouch down until I'm less than a foot away from it, and then become surprised when it spits it's venom in my eyes!

Did the whole self-preservation common sense gene skip the male chromosone or something?

links, rant, wtf, misc
