Shark Attack!!!


I was reading yesterday that a new mobile phone app has been released for the purpose of warning against shark attacks.

My first thought was that it would only be much use on a waterproof phone – Sony Xperia Z users, may your legs ever remain unsevered! - and would presumably flash up huge letter warnings saying “SHIT!!! BEHIND YOU!!!”

By which time it would probably be too late.

Of course, we know now that you don't just need a shark attack app in the sea, oh no. Sharknado shows that if you are caught in a tornado, you'd best turn on the shark attack app instead of the weather warning one. Caught in the desert? Don't bother with google mapping for an oasis; whip out your i phone and check for a shoal of sand dwelling white pointers. And now it seems that a shark attack app is needed as much for skiers as swimmers; avalanches are a habitat for deadly ocean predators.

Heading for Venice? Don't forget the shark attack app, and for the love of god don't take a temporary job poleing gondolas about. Don't forget the app if you are visiting a facility where octopus DNA is being experimented on, and steer clear of swamps, prehistoric times, and John Barrowman. And if you are Samuel L. Jackson, I'm not sure any app could save you.

In fact, just keep the shark attack app on the go at all times. Even sitting on your sofa. For you never know, even the safest looking DFS sale bought corner unit could house a deadly mako or hammerhead, just waiting to leap out from the chintz and devour you, anus first.
