Documentary proves it: mankind is pretty f*cking awesome

After seeing the celebrated documentary Sharkwater on the small/medium screen (read: Princess II) last night, I learned some important lessons. Sharks are disappearing faster than any other species on earth; approx. 180,000 sharks die in a single day; sharks aren't the killers that Steven Spielberg would have you believe, as they only kill about 5 people per year.

Think about that for a minute. Sharks kill 5 people per year. Mankind kills approx. 65.7 million sharks in a year. Look at that ratio and let it sink in for a minute and you'll come to the realization that I came to last night.

We are totally awesome.

Look at a shark. Look at their enormous, razor sharp teeth, and consider that they can grow to be 12 feet long. Then look at the average human. You wouldn't think that it'd be a close contest. Sharks should be devouring us, but they're not. The Goliath is getting slaughtered at the hands of David at a rate of 13.1 million for every human sharks get.

From our dominance over sharks to our straight up owning of fossil fuels, we've got a lot to be proud of. As a species that is never content and always moving on to bigger and better things, I think our next target should be the annihilation of giraffes. They're stupid and enormous. Let's get them.
