The human race has been fascinated by sharks for as long as I can remember.
Just like the bluebird feeding its young, or the spider struggling to weave

us yet another of the infinite and wonderful facets of nature, namely the
facet that it can bite your head off. This causes us humans to feel a
certain degree of awe.

flop up onto the land and evolve....
