Survivalist's Rule #1: Go for the eyes
The lesson in this story: Make sure your thumbs are strong.
No, it's not a story about text messaging. It's the second story in a week where someone was able to free themselves from a creature bound and determined to eat them by jabbing a thumb into its eye.
Two weeks ago it was a guy nabbed by an alligator in Florida.
Today, it's a guy nabbed by a shark in Australia.
Swimming in uncharted waters? Don't panic. Just keep those thumbs free.

It's true! I learned the technique in a self-defense class years ago.
