Shark Week

My college friend Peter is ridiculously into sharks. Every year he flips out when Shark Week rolls along. He sends us little Shark Week countdowns that are really amusing. Once it starts he gives us rundowns of the programming with his picks for the week. I found his enthusiam incredibly entertaining and thought that I should share:

To all of you who may be currently living under a slowly disappearing coral reef, I email to inform you that yesterday marked the beginning the Discovery Channel's lauded "Shark Week" programming. The occasion was marked by an electrifying 2-hour special entitled "Ocean of Fear: Worst Shark Attack Ever." It airs again on 8/4 at 11:00am EST, and I HIGHLY recommend it.

You may consider tuning in to "Shark Roulette" tonight at 6 and then again at 7. The blurb sounds amazing - something about the statistics of being bitten/killed in a shark attack and risk assessment.

"Great White Shark - Uncaged" also looks good. Evidently the viewer has the pleasure of taking a journey with several Einsteins who have decided it would be a good idea to swim with hungry Great White sharks without the protection of cages. This airs at 9pm tonight.

If anyone wants to watch any Shark Week stuff over the phone and discuss it, definitely let me know and we'll set something up. I have cleared my calendar tonight and Wednesday night.
