When you swim and/or play around a river in Illinois, you know you need to expect the unexpected. But, in this case I would guess that what was really found is something few would never expect. Yes, a 12-foot bull shark really was found in an Illinois river and there are video and pics to prove it.

As a kid growing up along the banks of the Rock River in Oregon, my parents made it quite clear that I was not to be swimming in the Rock. The river, they argued, was a drowning hazard--swift, full of dangerous currents, and was inhabited by creatures (like the garfish) that would bite off large chunks of my flesh.

I guess this week has been a sort of warm-up act for "Shark Week." Yesterday, I posted the video of two paddleboarders who encountered several great white sharks while off the coast of California (ICYM, click here), and of course, there have been several shark attacks off the coast of North Carolina this week, bringing their summer shark attack total to 7 people...

I think pretty much everyone has a list of things they won't do. I mean sure, there's things like crime, breaking commandments, and other things like that. However, I'm talking about things you won't do even if others swear it's lots of fun, not at all dangerous, blah-blah-blah...
