Divers fight Komodo Dragon and Sharks


A bunch of “expert” divers in Indonesia got swept away in currents and survived 12 hours in shark infested waters. They washed up on a small island named Rinca where they encountered a hungry Komodo dragon. These risk takers threw rocks at it and chased it away before getting rescued.

I guess my problem with this whole thing is- WHY do people have to be thrill seekers and do stupid things like dive in shark infested waters in the middle of the Land that Time Forgot? It’s like mountain climbers in Tibet or unarmed people in Washington DC ghettos…WHY?

These lucky fools say it’s “living life” and “exhilarating”. Somehow I doubt drifting for 12 hours in the ocean is exciting, nor is coming face to face with an angry Komodo dragon.

I’ll stick to blogging.

    This time around I realized that the raccoon was free from suffering now. It's a shame its life had to end like that- it was blameless; humans built roads in the middle of his ancestor's forest. Progress and technology broke that raccoon's legs and took his life tonight. But now the suffering has ended for it. I mourned the raccoon and the way […]
