Man Versus Shark

More weird news...

Dr. James Grant was out spear fishing with some friends in New Zealand, when he "felt something pulling on his leg." Turns out, this was a shark attacking him, so he did the logical thing; whip out a knife he was carrying for some unknown reason and attacked the creature. When he got to shore, Grant used his medical knowledge to patch up his wounds, then he and his buddies went to a local pub. The bartender gave him a bandage, and Grant went to the hospital after being urged by others. He returned to work after the weekend as if nothing happened. Moral of the story: always carry a knife while scuba diving, and the bite of alcohol can soothe a shark bite.
