I voted no.  They don't attack us but they do make a lot of sharky comments.

Though statistically low, it would seem the answer is yes.  Sometimes we are the meal as in the case of white tip oceanic sharks and bulls.  Sometimes it's territorial, as in the case of some reef sharks.  Other times it's explorative, GW and tigers. 

The shark attacks that inspired Jaws happened just a couple miles north of where I normally surf, yet in over 40 years of surfing and boating, I've yet to see any sharks other than relatively harmless sand sharks, inshore.

A similar topic (do bunnies eat us?) showed up on a blackberry forum last year and the debate raged on until the video below surfaced.  Be forewarned, its somewhat gruesome...but it is conclusive.

This has to rate as one of the most absurd questions in history.
And, mike, this is absolutely no refection on you or your question since it's entirely possible you're interested in studying how dumb humans can actually be.

The Q is straight and simple with no ambiguity so OF course sharks attack us. What the bloody hell. So far 8 people have said no? Let's have them go to one of numerous locations world wide where sharks hang out and have them linger their body or limbs in the water. Big bet's a $. Which do the sharks "attack" (take) first, their lobotomized brain or their equally useless dicks?

Gotta be one for the books.

sterbo--be sure to vote if you haven't yet.


Of course everyone can plead their case on either side, but the only scientific way to know the true, objective answer will be to see what the results of the poll are.
