white sharks
 
Does anybody like them? I felt bad for them because people and orcas prey on them.

i like sharks. i hate all the bullshit shark phobia everyone has cos of jaws. FACT people - sharks are so unlikely to attack you - it's amazing. saw it in a documentary. sharks aren't the badass killers people think. they are just the clutzy oaf in the playground picking on the weak tiny kids. they can't change direction very well at all. it takes them fucking ages or something i think. sharks just do their natural thing and all these humans get uppity and scared of them. leave the sharks alone dammit. they are just solid dudes. creatures like all of us. they look kinda cool. like bitey phallus's. wait - did i just stumble upon something? is the peoples view on the shark due to them looking like a phallus with teeth?

White sharks are beautiful creatures that are on the endangered list.
There's a 15 km strip just off the coast of South Africa called "Shark Alley",
and if you swim there, you'll get nabbed for sure by the notorious Carcharodon carcharias.

that is mostly true

the is an exception to the rule though, some species of shark have been known to attack unprovoked, among them the Oceanic Whitetip, Tiger, Great White, and the most dangerous the Bull Shark which accounts for most of the attacks in the world not only cause they are very aggressive and unpredictable, but they can tolerate Fresh Water as well

the phobia is overinflated for sure, one just has to remember they are the ones with sharp teeth

i think they are amazing animals and should be protected but i am seriously scared of sharks and deep water. toko that picture gets me every time even though it is a rubber shark.

even that man! i could never take that in the bath.

jon boy 01.09.2007 04:44 AM

see the evil in its eye? see the fin? behind that innocent look is a mouth full of razor sharp teeth and the mind of a pure killer just out to bite jon.

haha no i think i could handle that one. i do like watching documentaries about sharks and i find them fascinating. honest.

even in a small amount of water this is what i see:

 


when i was in greece i went snorkling and went out really far so that the ocean floor was well below me and all i could hear was the jaws theme.

that film sounds awesome but i don't know what it is, sorry!
i love sharks, i have a friend who is super scared of them (even in swimming pools!) and she got me interested in them.

 


so serene!

however, in greece there arent any sharks. there has only been rare occassions of smaller versions of sharks.

if someone can help me with finding that old film. must be late seventies. there was a shark hunter who was always chewing gum and before he dived he was stucking it whereever he found handy. there is a cool scene with a cave where zillions of sharks are sleeping! still remember that stuff from since i saw it, but only that.


i reckon tokolosh is your man for this kind of thing. he is the king of finding stuff in the interweb.

Why didn't you say so!

jon boy 01.09.2007 06:17 AM

jon boy 01.09.2007 06:33 AM

edit* ok ok i felt guilty and got rid of that pic.

search for "great white jump" (or something similar) on youtube and you'll witness a true magic.

James Blonde watched documentary yesterday about how sharks catch sea lions.

Richard Pryor on Fire 01.09.2007 04:19 PM

Fuck that bullshit, Sharks are dangerous, I see a strong pro-shark agenda on this board. Make no mistake, they are evil incarnate. A shark is not yr friend the shark is coniving and decitful the shark will eat you and yr baby. Do not join the pro-shark movement!
 

IS THIS THE FACE OF A FRIEND?!?!

You would have made a good worker for the Germany's Reich movement. In the propaganda section.
