Science Tells Us When Shark Attacks Will Happen

We now know when sharks are most likely to tear us apart.
Shark attacks are most likely to occur on Sunday in less than 6 feet of water during a new moon, a new study finds. And there’s good reason: That’s when a lot of surfers are in the water. Not coincidentally, surfers wearing black-and-white suits are most likely to be attacked.
Saturdays come in second place, and Fridays make a pretty good showing too, “reflective of people skipping work and taking three-day weekends,” explained George Burgess, director of the International Shark Attack File at the University of Florida.
The scribbling you hear is the frantic rerouting of my cousin’s Sunday moonlight water wedding under a new moon.
