Whoops, the shark attacks were in the Red Sea not the Mediterranean. Thought I had the conspiracy connection of the month.

Going off topic, Russell....is any one making a connection between these shark attacks in Egypt and the likely thousands of refugees put into leaky boats by people smugglers in the Mediterranean.

I was reading Lloyd Jones latest book which estimates drownings possibly in the thousands annually. Maybe he's exaggerating, or maybe I'm mad to be making the connection. But why else would ocean going sharks be making repeated attcks on humans, not their usual target food, unless they had somehow grown accustomed to it.

And this Libya thing helping out Italy to lessen its refugee problem (read somewhere when I tried to google this connection between shark attacks and people smuggling) is also put in a very disturbing light in Jones's book.
