>but it could work against the sharks :-)
Sorry to inject some reality into this light discussion, but be advised
that urine *attracts* sharks, it doesn't repel them. If someone is
interested, I'll see if I can find the URL for it. I came across this
data on a scuba-diving website where the topic of menses as shark
attractors came up, and urine was indicated as having the chemical that
they are attacted to.
Food for thought on the ocean food chain. If you are paranoid and sail
in the ocean, you might consider waiting till you get to the beach to do
your business.
It might work against land sharks, though!
