Shark Talk

Although considered by most to be merciless killers of the deep, sharks have been known to raise & nurture orphaned kittens as their own.

Unfortunately, the kittens often survive only to become merciless killers of the deep.

But that's only if they survive drowning.

shark cakes look really good but taste like frosted teddy bear fur.

Although they're often called "eating machines," sharks are not machines at all, but fish.

I didn't make this up. I think I saw it on MST3K.

Female sharks, when pregnant, develop odd eating habits. Like clam chowder with lucky charms cereal on top. With the pots of gold, and red balloons.

I read that George Washington actually rode on back of a shark when he crossed the Delaware River to attack the Brits.

If the shark is worried about the holdup, can't he just eat his way to the front? Or, since he's no longer swimming in international waters, must he abide by local laws?

Sharks have several sets of eyelids, including one which is comprised of one red and one blue membrane, allowing them to view 3D movies without special glasses.

The annoying and short lived Mime Shark (marcelus marsous carcharias) swims its entire life against a current that doesn't exist.

Sharks invented the internet.

i am not making this up... i once heard on a tv program regarding sharks, that "the faster a shark swims, the more distance it will cover in a period of time." i was so amazed that some editor didn't catch that as a "duh" comment that i went and wrote it down. years later, i throw it out at parties whenever someone has just dropped a boring-bomb on the conversation.

Sharks are known to regularly eat at Long John's Fishmarket.

In an ironic twist, Long John's Fishmarket is located in Boise, Idaho, necessitating a lengthy journey for sharks, many of whom come from the East Coast or Thailand. National Geographic has been documenting the March of the Sharks; Morgan Freeman will be supplying the narration for the film, scheduled for a June release.

The National Geographic Web site has all the information on this. So does Morgan Freeman's Web site.

Sharks have a bad rep for maiming and killing surfers and cute seals. However, seals are not really cute.

Male sharks use complex song and dance numbers,not unlike those seen on broadway, in order to entice a female to mate. If enough females dissaprove of a certain male's routine, the male then has to support other more dominant males as a back-up dancer/singer.

If you were to turn a shark completely inside out, like a sock, it would look exactly the same.

Land sharks will only knock on a door twice and always announce themselves.

Sharks do frequent Long John's fishmarket, but suprisingly, they go there for the chicken.

sharks are actually not considered fish, but fruits.

Amazingly, only 35% of sharks actually have law degrees.

Sharks actually lay eggs. Shark eggs happen to look exactly like little baby sharks. They wriggle around, swim, eat and while they never, ever hatch, they are eggs. Really.

A shark's skeleton is actually not cartilage, but the stuff you find in Stretch Armstrong dolls.

Isn't that where this is going?

With interest rates running as high as 600% it is strongly advised NOT to accept a loan from a shark.

Sharks avoid fresh water because it tastes like bear pee.

Bathtub shark attacks are extremely rare. Unless you are on a sinking ocean vessel. Then bathtub shark attacks are extremely likely.

While sharks like Jabberjaws get all the press, your average working-class shark is actually quite docile and well-mannered. Except when they're eating people.

On a lark, I once took a shark to the park in the dark.

A seldom-known fact is that 57% of all sharks are bulimic.

You see, sharks eat because they're unhappy.
And they're unhappy because they eat.

1.Sharks can only see in 3 shades of gray (#2, #3 and the rare #1 pencil).

2. Their eyes are limited to only seeing elements that are important (Non-critical humans are simply viewed upon as round circles).

3. Like rattleshakes, they carry left over teeth in their fins.

4.Since they are unable to speak English, they've mastered the art of spontaneous closed captioning.

( I wonder if "rattleshakes" was my subconcience compensating for my stupid high brain functions )

Sharks are actually the larval form of electricity repair men.

Once, while wathcing the discovery channel, I saw a documentary of a shark, and his life long dream, he wanted to tap dance. It was really an amazing piece, he had some real talent. The only thing standing in his was was the water skiiing squirrel...rat bastard.

I hear sharks' favroite food is Samuel L. Jackson.

Though loathe to admit it, most sharks enjoy Jerry Lewis films.

Some Polynesian cultures consider shark attacks an ill omen. In order to ward off such an attack, every morning the ugliest child in the village will have the end of a 100' rope tied around their waist and then be sent for a swim in the lagoon. Many villagers find 90' of rope a good return (depending on the child, of course).

Blonde sharks have more fin.

Lest we forget the infamous (more than famous) Shark-billed Platypus

Hmmmm ... maybe an epoch is needed? A long, drawn out story of a sock monkey named Mojo, with a one-track mind, searching the high seas for his nemesis, "Paws" the Tiger Shark.

I've already got an idea for the cover!

Ahh, the infamous Monkey vs. Shark scene... I like.

I found these facts on the Internet, which is completely reliable. 1. Sharks must drink blood to live 2. Sharks guard pots of gold 3. Sharks love rainbows but hate the sun. 4. Sharks sleep in coffins at night. If you catch a shark in his coffin, he has to grant you a wish.

I can't remember if those are shark facts or vampire leprechaun facts.

No.

Sharks store water in two humps of fatty tissue on their backs, enabling them to survive without water for up to two weeks. They can also smell fear.

Normally, sharks eat alone. Preferably, over the sink.

"They Call Me Eh"

Call me Mojo. Some years ago -- never mind how long precisely -- having little or no money ... eh!!

Isn't SHARK also the word "SHART" spelled wrong?

It is a proven fact that sharks caused the extinction of unicorns

If you should play cards with a shark, NEVER play for money.

Russer Butters - Isn't that against the Marine Biologists's Code? Aren't you supposed to eat them straight out of the water?

Jared - No... that's "SHARP" spelled wrong as well. Impressive, eh?

Captain Purple - Actually, sharks did cause the extinction of unicorns. Get out of here with your filthy truth.

Sharks invented screen readers.

Sharks that eat on their own are called LONE SHARKS.

Sharks have a special network of jelly-filled canals in their head called the Ampullae of Lorenzini that detect electric fields. These are complimented by another network of peanut-butter filled canals in their fins called the Ampullae of Skippy. Sadly, ne'er the twain shall meet.

I love this site ...

When targeting a shark with your @media types, use the type="shark" and only sharks will see your webpage.

This works wonders while working on thriller moviescripts that include sharks. Why?
Because you can use the inverse, as well:
type="all...except sharks" declaration.

However, the best way to avoid a shark seeing your website is to use the Mako-Hack:

^^^^^^attribute-here: foopx;
Brilliant stuff.

Sharks are the 007 of the sea.

Sharks tend to try to find food under the sea.

sometimes sharks die.

Sharks can actually live in chlorine filled swimming pools. However, they would probably die soon after.

Though many intellectual four-year-olds believe so, sharks do not actually come up through the toilet, but prefer to go through the spout in your faucet.

For obvious reasons, they would rather be near someone's hands then near their ass.

uh.. i mean... donkey! yeah.. donkey...

Great. Now I'm scared to wash my hands as WELL as sit on the toilet!

Sharks are just victims. They bite and rend because society is responsible for their dysfunctional behavior. They suffer from low self-esteem, are raised in a violent home environment, with mostly absentee parents...can you blame the poor little rotters if they act out?

Never commented on this at the time, but have since been drawn back to its beauty and wit. Would love to see this as a finished work, its deadly clever, only matched by the hilariously funny comments on shark facts.

This is an easy all time favourite, I love the face of the perplexed oblivious gentleman at the front of the line, If only I had nickel for every time I have been stuck behind one of them.

Well, I guarantee that when I do a book of One-Offs, I'll have this one in there... drawn in stunning black & white!

Sharks are not scared of anything except for bears, although its a little known untruth that a shark could have a bear if it came down to a fight!
