“Shark Week”

http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/story/2011-09-07/Calif-lawmakers-pass-bill-banning-shark-fin-trade/50291584/1

The California legislature is seeking to ban the selling, buying, and possession of shark fins.  Except through licensed, medical shark fin dispensaries.

If shark fins become illegal, police will be arresting anyone caught driving a 1959 Cadillac.

The idea is to get people to stop hunting and killing sharks for food, but no new legislation is trying to keep sharks from killing people for food.

An Australian cage-diving operator has discovered that great white sharks respond to music underwater, and particularly, rock band AC/DC.  The great whites proved they have good taste, too, by not liking Great White.

These trial-and-error experiments to see what range of sound frequencies attract the sharks are a first, because in the ocean, it’s usually hard to see sharks’ play lists on their iPods.

Sharks have been known to have a taste for Metal.

“Shark Vision”

Researchers in Australia have discovered that sharks are completely colorblind. Except for loan sharks, who only see green.

Of 17 shark species examined, none could see color. Which is why they prefer black-and-white movies.

The researchers had hypothesized that sharks may not see different colors when they noticed that sharks never use crayons.

If sharks really are colorblind, this weakness could be exploited by their enemies, the Jets.
