Shark News:

Thanks to [profile] nate100101 for hipping me to this amazing story.

Um, anyone here ever seen Jaws 3-D? That's the one where they keep the white shark alive in captivity at Sea World, in the 80's. And it's fascinating because at the time, they had never been able to keep a white shark (a "blue pointer" for you Ausssie types) alive in a tank. And until recently, they still hadn't.

Great White Shark breaks captivity record in Monterey Bay Aquarium. While I do find this fascinating, I'm not a big fan of keeping any sharks in captivity. But what do I know? I love going to the zoo!

Anyway, now that they have a white shark in captivity, they are surprised that it is biting and killing other sharks in the same aquarium. Um...duh? One would think that, as the proverb goes, they knew it was a shark when they picked it up.

I remember the first time i ever saw the scene where jaws slowly moves towards the camera, without moving at all, i almost peed myself laughing!

Me too.

I thought it was the worst shark movie I'd ever seen.
Of course, they hadn't made Jaws 4 or Last Shark yet, both of which make Jaws 3-D look like the Citizan Kane of shark movies.

I'm sure it makes you feel better that they didn't name the shark because they are planning on releasing it back to the ocean.

I'm sure it makes the shark feel better too.
