hmmm... I didn't think one necessarily ruled out the other.

I only hope that none of those folks who have already bought their
yellow kayaks for safety reasons will buy this rumor when neither the
source nor the study can be identified.  However, we can identify 
respectable resources which state there is no conclusive evidence to 
support the color preference theory.  And, like Bob says, all of this 
is silly because there aren't enough attacks on kayaks to form *any* 
opinion. 

I also agree with David that sharks don't need any more JAWS mentality
(I'm paraphrasing his words).

Cheers,

Jackie (will gladly keep and paddle her yellow Sea Lion)
