I remember her last concert in Madrid. One of her last concert in her life if I recall

She was extremely fucked up. She was on the news and everyone was making fun of her and I could only remember saying to myself "she is gonna die in no time that poor thing" It was really osbcene making her perform in that state.

I know this doesn’t help with phobias but if we are talking risk factors then your choice is by far the wisest.

If that shark turns into attack mode, that diver is dead 95/100. Okay it might not attack but the risk is still high.

With a Huntsman the risk is basically zero, even if the one you picked up was the nastiest Huntsman on the planet all it could do is scare the shit out of you and give you a few bee stings. By which point you could rip it in half with the strength it would take you rip a plastic bag.

However fear is fear.

I’ve had a nurse shark sitting on my lap and I’ve fed it from above. Rule number one, never ever put your hand underneath the nose of the shark or it’s bitten. The second good drops below the snout it’s gone in a flash. Now that’s Nurse sharks who are very docile, I am going to assume this is relatively common in how they’ve evolved those senses.

Well they are less fussy eaters, however you’ve more chance of surviving a bite and taste experiment with a tiger. That’s not to be said you will survive it, just a tiny bit more likely due to how they both differ in attack strategy.

Tigers are a fairly aggressive species, but frankly, the king of the don’t fuck with me sharks is the Bull, partly that’s due to proximity to humans, but also due to how aggressive they are and how they can hunt in packs.

Humans have swum with all three of these species without aid of cages, however one could get away with wearing a chain mail suit in the case of Bull or Tiger, that likely doesn’t help with a Whitey as your insides will be crushed anyway.

By far though, the most risky free dive is with a White, if something goes wrong, it’s over. With the other two there’s a slim chance you survive, especially with other divers there to help you. They couldn’t help you at all if a shark really decides it’s feeding on you though. It’s goodnight and crap fight.

Unless you are a highly trained diver with years of experience diving with the same sharks you’ve got to know well in terms of temperament, then it’s a silly, needless risk with any of large predatory shark.

I mean I’ve swam with nurse sharks, that’s about as risky as petting animals in a handling zoo.

The Grammy, golden globes and academy awards are all awards shows given out by people and judges who are not pre-qualified in film and TV. It's a buddy club that gives good stickers for being the best next buddy club contestant. Dark history #71
