    Another candidate for the Darwin Award....

    A 50-ish woman went swimming yesterday off the coast of San Louis Obispo, California.

    She was wearing a wetsuit with large flippers (makes you look like a seal)

    She swam 75-100 yards into the Pacific Ocean & started swimming with a large group of seals

    She was mistaken for a seal by a large shark, bitten twice and killed

    I'm sorry, but as a former diver I think that "swimming with the seals" in what is known to be shark waters is profoundly STUPID

                  you swim with the seals,
                  you sleep with the fishes.

                    The autopsy results are in and the bite mark indicates a 15-18 foot Great White Shark killed her.

                    Officials have closed the beach (DUH!!)

                      She only qualifies for the Darwin Award if she died childless.

                      No information on offspring in the reports I read.

                          Why didn't the shark eat her and get rid of the evidence? Now the ACLU might sue the shark...

                            I nominate the carnival worker killed this past week.
                            He was lubricating the track on his rollercoaster while it was running.
                            His mullet haircut got caught on the car as it went by, hoisted him 40' in the air, where his scalp peeled off, he fell and landed on the fence surrounding the ride.

                            Nobody said you needed brains to be a carnie...
