A kayak fisherman died Monday off Maui after a shark bit his dangling foot, officials said.

Maui County Ocean Safety officials received a report that a shark attacked a man fishing in a kayak between Maui and Molokini, a small island less than 3 miles off the southwest coast of Maui that's popular for diving and snorkeling.

I recall many years ago and a recently engaged couple were sailing in a small boat in Miami bay. The girl was dangling her left hand in the water and a barracuda bit off her ring finger - the bright diamond.

Taking all jewelry off your hands is one of the first things they teach you in scuba driving class for just that reason.

When the sharks show up with laser beams attached to their heads, you'll know it's the end times.
