I know this is random, but I just want to clear this up for people out there.

There are these things called shark attacks, but there is no such thing as a shark attack. I have never seen a real shark attack.

I know you’re making a weird face as you’re reading this. OK people, a shark attack is not what we see on TV and what people portray it as.

We’re humans. We live on land.

Sharks live in water.

So if you’re swimming in the water and a shark bites you, that’s called trespassing. That is called trespassing. That is not a shark attack.

A shark attack is if you’re chilling at home, sitting on your couch, and a shark comes in and bites you; now that’s a shark attack. Now, if you’re chilling in the water, that is called invasion of space. So I have never heard of a shark attack.

When I see on the news where it’s like, “There have been 10 shark attacks,” I’m like, “Hey, for real?! They’re just running around? Sharks are walking now, huh! We live on the land, we don’t live underwater.”</div>

 

Gilbert Arenas the Joke Thief?

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">On Arenas' blog he writes something that is remarkably similar to comedian Ian Edwards bit about shark attacks:

When I see on the news where it?s like, ?There have been 10 shark attacks,? I?m like, ?Hey, for real?! They?re just running around? Sharks are walking now, huh! We live on the land, we don?t live underwater.?

And it sounded familiar. So here's a video I found of Edwards, writer for SNL and Boondocks and frequent performer on BET doing standup on Conan. Watch the 3:33 mark.

Pretty similar and funny if Arenas copied him.

 

More people are killed a year by vending machines than shark attacks...lol

But yeah anyways, this is kind of a random quote. And what crazy reporter is askin him about sharks? Was this in response to Discovery Channel's "Shark Week"? I mean seriously, what a weird quote.

EDIT:haha my bad, didn't realize this was his blog.

 

Maybe he is just a fan, and threw that in his blog because he likes the joke?

 

I'm pretty sure he stole it because he just really liked the joke, he should've given Ian Ewards props though.

 

By the way, does he make 100,000 makes or 100,000 tries? Misses don't count?

i think its 100,000 MAKES. damn, thats a scary thought when you think of how good of a shooter and scorer he'll be next season.

 

i think this will make him get more assists too because if he makes more shots the more help defense is going to fall on him giving his teamates open looks
