Please note that although there are shark attacks and our site is primarily based on this, there is more than likely a lot less shark attacks around the world than you might think. We have some shark attack statistics which will point this out.
To just quickly state how common shark attacks are (or should I say aren't), there is only 6 deaths worldwide per year average, compared to 150 people dying from coconuts. This information was obtained from sharkmans-world.com where more interesting comparisons can be found.

| Shark in roof of a house |
Cool roof huh? This Shark became the most famous resident of Headington when it landed in the roof of 2 New High Street on 9 August 1986! As of March 2008 it is still encased in scaffolding, and this is unlikely to be removed until the spring of 2008.
It looks pretty cool, but I wonder if it'd get ripped off of the roof in strong winds? If so, that could cause some serious damage!
