Dangerous Sharks 1

Are sharks really dangerous? 
Well, watching ‘Jaws’ could tell you something about that. Any shark which is bigger than 6 feet (1.8 meters) is a possible threat to humans due to its size and adaptations, like jaws and stronger teeth.
These sharks do not specifically troll for human flesh, often humans are mistaken for seals, sea lions or other common prey animals. 
According to the official list issued by Institute of Shark Attack Files (ISAF) of most dangerous sharks the White Shark tops the list with 451 attacks recorded till May 2009. The other followers are Tiger Shark (158 attacks), Bull Shark (120 attacks), Requiem Shark (75 attacks), and Sand Tiger Shark (59 attacks).


Great White Shark
The great white shark is recognized to have most fatal attacks on humans. The danger related with this species is unquestionably associated with its size and the curious way of approaching its assumed prey. Since swimmers and surfers resemble seal or sea lion from below the water, they are mistaken as the shark’s usual prey.

Cocktails: Bloody Mary

Hey guys I am back from my trip to paris and it was amazing, had a lot of fun!
While traveling I thought about cocktails...
Can you imagine vodka mixed with tomato juice being one of the most popular cocktails in the world? That’s what statistics by bartenders say. A cocktail is usually a mixed drink made by mixing distilled beverages like vodka, gin, whiskey, rum or tequila with other ingredients including juice, liqueur, fruits, honey, sauce, cream, milk, spices, and other complementary flavorings. Cocktails vary in many forms, due to the differences in preparation of the drinks. Some of the popular cocktails are:


Bloody Mary
It is a popular cocktail made by mixing vodka with tomato juice, and spices or flavors like Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce, beef consommé, horseradish, olive, celery, salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, celery salt and lemon juice. The Bloody Mary tends to relieve hangovers and is therefore normally taken in the morning.
