Channel 5 alerts us that at least one swimmer down on the Cape seemed determined to recreate the Jaws poster:

... "[The shark] sensed that swimmer in the water from a quarter of a mile away. And we all know that sharks have these extra-sensory ways of seeking their prey and this was visual proof to me," Breen said. ..

In other menacing news, Channel 5 also reports a rogue manhole cover attacked several cars on Rte. 2 in Lincoln this morning.

The blog-hating columnist has company in Lincoln-Sudbury School Superintendent John Ritchie, who warned graduating seniors last night not to "sink to the levels" of dangerous, foul-mouthed bloggers. Ritchie made the admonishment despite admitting that:

I never - believe or not — read any of these blogs and never will. But I have been informed of what is said: the tenor, the tone, the message.

Now, in that particular case, he's referring specifically to the comments Wicked Local sites allow on their blogs - even more specifically, about the way the local paper printed local teacher salaries - but still, Johnny, what sort of example are you setting for the kids by blabbering about things you've never actually seen?

Beware the flying sharks of Lincoln.
