HISTORY This WeekThe Shark Attacks That Made Us Fear the WaterAugust 15, 1915. American diplomat J. T. Du Bois publishes a letter in The New York Times. It’s not about diplomacy or foreign affairs. This letter is about sharks. It’s Du Bois’ attempt to prove to the American public that “Man-Eating Sharks” - as he calls them - are real.

True Crime CampfireOut of Your Depth: The Grisly Jersey Shore Shark Attacks of 1916When you were a kid, were you ever scared to go in the swimming pool in case you might get eaten by a shark? Or just get in the bathtub? Hell, one time I even managed to freak myself out just from laying on a waterbed. This is mainly thanks to Steven Spielberg and a 25-foot mechanical shark called Bruce, but “Jaws” wasn’t made in a vacuum. Shark attacks are, thankfully, very rare, but over a century ago there were a series of attacks so shocking and so close together that they cemented the shark as a figure of sharp...

Strange CountryShark Attacks of 1916As beaches open up for the summer, remember there's more than COVID-19 to worry about. No, actually, that should be the main thing to worry about. Oh and sun cancer. While Strange County is talking about shark attacks, shark attacks are pretty rare. You have a better chance of having Trump grab you by your genitalia.
