At what point did I give you the impression I was mentally well? I DO watch Beat the Geeks everyday. That alone guarantees a reservation in the funny farm.

Why can't we have sea creatures like this today? Sea travel would be much more adventurous. You could wake up one morning and read about the American Submarine that had a bite taken out of it by a monsterous shark.

*sigh* Oh well. I guess we have to make due with Giant Squids.
You'd never hear about that - even if the sub somehow made it back to the surface, the government that controlled it would never admit one of its subs was taken out by wildlife.

Next we will see headlines that some sharks eats some kids replaying what they saw on TV.

Plain silly
Ah yes, idiot week.

A friend of mine who is a biologist says sharks won't actually eat humans. They'll take a bite out of you, then spit it out. We must taste awful.

I don't want you to think I'm making light of the matter... people are killed by sharks all the time. But (according to my friend) the sharks don't actually eat them, they take out a bite and spit it out.

Thanks for the article, Loser. Stuff like this has to be publicized so it won't ever happen again.

Maybe your friend was talking abotu a certain kind of shark. I'm pretty sure Tigers will eat anything. Give me a few and I'll edit in some links to interesting "Look what we found in this tiger shark's stomach." sites.
