PhillipBlunt Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 After speaking to some people who have done expeditions across the ocean, I believe that there are some Megalodons that still exist in the deep ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Needs more fake stories. Get back to basics. Sharks eating things and more of this submarine shark. He's bad ace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Strangelove Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 A full week dedicated to idiots pretending to be oh-so-knowledgeable from sensationalized pop science that amounts to nothing. This is the most scientific education a lot of people get within a year. gtfo and leave my Chondrichthyes alone. This 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilight Sparkle Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 but, SHARKS, you guys! i love hearing random bimbos who were "attacked" by sharks and are interviewed and somehow know the entire anatomy of a shark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue90 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Man I was watching this thing on this submarine shark and googled it 5 mins in and apparently it's all fake. Booourns That shark sounds like a pimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Man I was watching this thing on this submarine shark and googled it 5 mins in and apparently it's all fake. Booourns That shark sounds like a pimp They did a disclaimer at the beginning of the show, saying that it was "fictionalized". If you missed the start, you probably missed that. I probably would have clued in when Submarine pulled the woman under, and for some reason decided to include a huge floatation device as well. (for roughage, I'd have to guess) It got less and less believable after that. From the shark "hiding", to pushing the guy out to sea "for later"....even the Captain hitting the rocks on a routine cruise.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 To be fair while the fictionalized part was a bogus mockumentary. South Africans have indeed for years seen a massive shark by all accounts but has never been truly verified. Also...what the ever loving hell they let him push that guy out for 15 minutes and NOBODY did a thing. 6 boats right there and NOBODY swoops in to rescue him, but boy wonder jumps into a shark cage goes into the water with the shark and rescues 3 people with...some creamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 They should have Shark Week hosted by Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppleJack Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I have been watching the older seasons of shark week on netflicks. I do plan on watching some newer stuff. Personally I like the stuff they do on the megs cause it's interesting and I am a shark and dinosaur nut and megs were around back then so.... And don't be hating on sharknado it's cheesy goodness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Sharktopus is about as cultural defining as sharknado but with a little more intellectual dialogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avelanch Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 other networks are capitalizing on Sharkweek too. Disney Channel is running all shark themed shows for the Octonauts (and any other shows that have sharks in them, like Dc McStuffins.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillipBlunt Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I was out in Steveston at the Maritime festival, and on the Saturday night was at the Bucaneer. The crusty old sailor quotient was triple the usual. I bought a round of drinks for some older sailors and sat down with them and asked if they had any tales of the open ocean (I'm a nut for that kind of thing). One of the older guys originally from Britian, served in the Merchant Marines. He told me of an incident that happened when they were travelling between the Marshall Islands and the Phillipines. They were headed west and saw a humpback whale flailing in the water about 600 yards from their starboard bow. They saw that it was being pulled underwater by something. He said that a shark as big as the humpback then breached the water behind the whale and bit down on it's midsection or umbillicis and shook it like a rag doll. It sent shivers down my spine and frankly, I believe the guy, The ocean is a terrifying place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
