Oh, sharks. When will you stop being terrifying?Late last week, police charged a man with disorderly conduct for saying he spotted two great whites off the beach of Martha’s Vineyard – the selfsame spot where movie-monster Jaws hunted humans in 1974.Too bad the man’s sighting was fabricated, and cleared the beaches for no reason. While the Jaws mythos is still going strong, your chance of being killed by a shark is one in 264 million.
