…it ain’t beer

Dear Readers,
My internet connection has been out for 3 days and California is on Covid 19 lockdown. To prevent falling further behind on Doclopedia entries, I’m switching themes to the much faster and easier old standby theme “The Alphabet.”
This will be the 8th time I’ve done this theme, so just to make it interesting this time around, I’m going to do it in reverse. When I finish it, I’ll return to “State Secrets”.
Doc

…Zebra Sharks, which are very large man eating sharks found on Earth 9-K. Measuring up to 20 feet long, these striped sharks can survive for up to 10 days in fresh water, much like the Bull Shark in our world. They can survive up to two months in brackish water. Because of this, they often encounter humans, who they will readily kill and eat.
Although native to Africa, the Zebra Shark has managed to make its way to Asia, Australia and the Mediterranean. There is great fear that it may make its way to South America, then northward.

Yeeting, an insanely dangerous “sport” on Earth 1-D in which people, almost exclusively teenagers, yell “YEET!” and dive out of windows, hopefully landing on pre-arranged soft material. Sometimes they do, but those idiots who leap from very high windows often miss and die or suffer serious permanent injuries.
The highest Yeet survived so far is 12 stories, done from a bank in Denver. The young man who did it is in prison now for the next two years.
