    Another episode in the 'Animals strike back!' series!

    "FORT MYERS BEACH, Fla. -- A crew aboard a shrimping boat were rescued after a group of bull sharks rammed and bit the vessel until it eventually sank off the Florida coast, according to an Associated Press report.

    Captain Roger Schmall said a group of sharks had been slamming into the Christy Nichole's hull for four days. But then a 14-foot bull shark broke the boat's tail shaft, leaving Schmall and his crew of two adrift about 100 miles off the coast.

    Schmall radioed for help, and another vessel picked the crew up about two hours later."

    It's a good thing they had that radio. Otherwise, that would be a Bermuda Triangle story.

    Makes me wonder if they were chumming the water.
