The sharks are coming as close to shore as possible to PROTEST climate change. They are scared, very scared, because they are just as stupid as humans.

“Is a bigger boat needed?”

That depends. Will it be longer than a three-hour tour?

Of course not, most all shark species are completely harmless. But we were talking whites and tigers and I would like to add bull sharks.

I am not a shark expert by any means. But I had a brown shark come at me once,(probably curious or there was a food source behind me). I was once in the water with a great white. Those are the only two I have seen, and that was a long long time ago.

Rumor : roving packs of vicious sharks to launch a land assault on Boston in coordination with the Russians. You heard it here first!

I wonder what percentage of seals who die do so as a result of shark predation.

That’s akin to asking how many cows die due to human predation.

“I hope that they are vaxed, wearing masks and socially distancing.”

In most states you can remove your mask when eating.

Great Whites are a common sight off the coast of San Francisco, no thanks to the protected status of the Farallon Islands. As such, they’re attracted to the seals that make their home in the Farallon Islands. If the seal population starts moving north on the East Coast, it may not only attract bigger sharks but also Orca populations coming down from Canadian waters. Either way, the seals are going to be hunted down in a big way.

When they get there, let us know. Then it will be news.

Thanks for the tip! I’m putting a Tiger Shark skin interior in my next street rod build, and am a little short on fabric.
Oh, and thanks global warming!

Here we go again. Blame everything including things that may not happen on global warming.

Large tiger shark was caught off of Ocean City, Maryland in 1983. A replica sits at the end of our boardwalk.
https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=66529
“This record 1,210 pound Tiger Shark was caught in the waters off Ocean City, Maryland by Grace Czemiak of Buffalo, New York. The shark was caught on July 9, 1983 while fishing aboard the LISA with Captain Stuart Windsor and Mate Jim Liberto.

Mrs. Czemiak was using an 80 pound test line and a 5/8” stainless steel shank baited with mackerel when the fish took the hook. She fought the shark for 3 ½ hours before bringing it along side of the LISA. At that time the fish was caught, Czermiak was fishing 27 miles off the coast in 22 fathoms of water. There were no scales large enough to weight this enormous fish in Ocean City. It was transported to the Showell Poultry complex in Showell, Maryland and there weighed on scales which accommodate tractor trailers.”

Hooper : Ah. Just like I thought... He came up with the Gulf Stream - from southern waters.

[he pulls a Louisiana license plate from the shark. Brody examines it]

Brody : He didn’t eat a car, did he?

Hooper : Naw, a tiger shark’s like a garbage can, it’ll eat anything. Someone probably threw that in a river.

The only reason sharks are around Cape Cod is because of restrictions on seal hunting. This has led to a huge increase in the seal population. Sharks like to eat seals, so they hang around the dinner bucket.

If a restaurant doesn't properly secure its food waste, it will attract rats. A food source attracts that which eats it.

#30: "Tiger sharks are delicious. Especially with a side of Chianti"

For me, my enjoyment comes just from watching them die. The eating is secondary.

Most states don’t have sharks among the population. :-) Snakes are a whole ‘nother story, though.

Eisehower's farewell re "the technological revolution during recent decades."
In this revolution, research has become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government.

Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been over shadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.

The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.

I’d invite as many sharks as want to come and dine upon Massachusetts voters...
