Shark Week. . .

As you all know, the Olympics ended yesterday. But fortunately, another great staple of TV has started.  Shark Week. Shark. Effin.' Week.

It's a magical time when a team of marine biologists, engineers, filmmakers, and surf bums descend upon the oceans and do very reckless things in the name of science.

Here's some facts:

• 36 people have been killed in the U.S. by sharks since 1580.
• 5 people die from shark attacks every year world wide.
• The last fatal shark attack in the U.S. was in 2010.

And here are some things that are just as deadly as sharks.

• Mosquitos (655 thousand malaria deaths in 2010)

Mansquito

• Bees (53 allergic reaction deaths a year)

That was so fun, I feel compelled to include another bee gif.

• Dogs (31 deaths in the U.S. per year)

• Hot dogs (70 choking deaths a year)

• Jason (192 deaths in the Friday the 13th franchise)

• Mickey Mouse (13 people have been killed by Disneyland since 1955)

• Vending machines (13 deaths annually)

• Sharktopus (6 people die in this trailer alone)

So remember, you have no reason to fear sharks.
