A Great White Shark's diet consists mainly of white people. Apparently mexican is too spicy or something, I don't really know.

Some sharks sing opera.

shark_gape_450.jpg

but most sharks sing metal songs. This shark is named Arghlargraphraglrarrrgh the Mangler. He is performing Ace of Spades by Motorhead. Drum and guitar parts and all.

Some people think that dolphins are gay sharks. THat's not true. This is a gay shark. He's so faaaaaaabulous.

Hammerhead sharks are like the motorbikes of the ocean. Because they're rad and they can do tricks and also when one wrecks, everybody dies.

This shark is called a goblin shark. Because he is part ork.

Sometimes sharks disguise themselves as buildings or cars or taxis or cute girls in costumes. Do not be fooled, they will still fuck your shit up. This stupid dog is stupid.

I don't know what's going on here, but it's like one of those times you're all driving and see some cute chick with a nice ass and then you drive past and you lean over to look at her tits and aawwwww man it's a dude with a ponytail fuck you ponytail guy.

This is retarded awesome, right here. It is a costume that makes people answer the door on halloween but instead of giving you candy, they poop on themselves.

I've got one of these. Serious. And it totally does give you an invincible shark-liked you are there feel.

Some people think they are safe staying out of the water. That is not true. Sharks are nature's chainsaw. They are persistent. And awesome.

Shark Week starts this Sunday, July 27 on the Discovery Channel.

It is fucking awesome! Christmas in July!

SHARK WEEK premieres July 27 to Aug. 2, 2008, featuring six all-new programs along with some of SHARK WEEK's most popular and memorable shows from past years. Check out the lineup below and see the TV schedule for the full week of shark programming.

SHARK WEEK 2008 PREMIERES:


MYTHBUSTERS: SHARK SPECIAL
Premieres Sunday, July 27, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Using their signature sci-tech style of explosive experimentation, the MythBusters hit the deep blue from California to the Bahamas to investigate myths about sharks. They are honing in on some doozies this year: Do dogs attract sharks? Do the vibrations caused by a flapping injured fish attract sharks? Does chili powder repel sharks? And hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman create the ultimate SHARK WEEK build – a 16-foot-long robo-shark!
* PHOTOS: Go behind the scenes with the cast.




SURVIVING SHARKS
Premieres Monday, July 28, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
Survivorman's Les Stroud hosts this look at how best to play it safe in the water, while testing popular theories of how to survive shark encounters. Les travels to the Bahamas and South Africa to test whether the behavior of Caribbean reef sharks and great whites changes depending upon the time of day. While in South Africa, Les and marine biologist Jeremiah Sullivan conduct an analysis of the great white's bite, and test whether kicking and splashing attracts sharks, and if it's safer to stay in a group or tread water alone if stranded in the ocean.
* PHOTOS: See shots of Les with the sharks.


DAY OF THE SHARK
Premieres Monday, July 28, at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
Do shark encounters happen more frequently in the morning or night? This special chronicles six recent shark attacks that took place at different times of day. Top shark experts weigh in on what time of day is better or worse for avoiding sharks.



DIRTY JOBS: GREENLAND SHARK QUEST
Premieres Tuesday, July 29, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
With over 400 species of sharks, they don't all live in the warm waters of the tropics -- some inhabit the freezing cold waters of the Arctic. And who better to introduce viewers to one our planet's most unsung sharks than DIRTY JOBS' Mike Rowe, who travels north to the edge of the Arctic Circle in search of the mysterious Greenland shark. These large sharks are slow-moving behemoths, and learning more about them will help scientists understand the rapid ecological changes affecting that part of the world, and how the Greenland shark impacts the food chain there. Mike assists shark scientists with their research as they tag and release a large male Greenland shark. By the end of the trip, Mike gains a deep appreciation for the men and women who are studying this elusive shark in one of the most extreme climates known to humankind.


HOW NOT TO BECOME SHARK BAIT
Premiering Tuesday, July 29, at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
Sharks may have a bad reputation, but you actually have a very slim chance of being attacked by one. A thrill-seeking team with a purpose -- escapologist Jonathan Goodwin, former lawyer turned Survivor: Cook Islands winner and adrenaline junkie Yul Kwon, marine biologist Jeremiah Sullivan and scientist Dr. Marty Jopson -- travel to the Bahamas to test shark attraction theories on lemon, tiger and Caribbean reef sharks, focusing on the sensory perception of sharks including colors, vibrations, smells and other attractors. In the process, viewers learn strategies for staying safe when in the water.


MYSTERIES OF THE SHARK COAST
Premieres Thursday, July 31, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
Australia's northeastern coast is a hotbed for shark activity. Its tropical seas are home to more species of sharks than anywhere else in the world. But there's trouble in the sharks' stronghold Down Under – even here the sharks are disappearing. What's happening to them? A special team made up of pioneering Australian marine biologist Richard Fitzpatrick; noted shark documentary filmmaker and host Mike deGruy; lead scientist for the Nature Conservancy M. Sanjayan, Ph.D.; and adventurer Celine Cousteau band together to find out, while undertaking the largest shark tagging expedition in Australian history. Their mission: to discover the cause of the mysterious decline in shark populations here, and find out if we can help the situation. To do so, the team deploys crittercams and remote cameras to explore and record shark behavior and to gather new insight into the still largely secretive life of the ocean's ultimate predator.

    I was at the Vancouver aquarium last Saturday and they did this "shark CSI" show where they dissected a shark (dogfish).
