    I never even saw this shark thread until I logged on this evening. I always go to the last post and, if it interests me, I either comment, or work my way backwards. Yours was the post. I felt compelled to reply. Especially when you threw such a softball. lol

    You are afraid to admit that you follow me around. This thread was created months ago. I resurrected it this afternoon and all of a sudden you appear.

    Wow...you really take yourself a bit too seriously. The first time I saw this thread, I posted in it. Your presence hadnothing to do with it. What a ridiculous, preening egomaniac you are! Get over yourself.

    What part of "this was the first time I had seen this thread" did you not understand the first time?

    You saw it for the first time because you are following me around nipping at my ankles.

    If you weren't stalking me, you still wouldn't have seen this months old thread I resurrected.

    Right. Young people tend to believe this type of stuff. But while we don't live under water we can breathe under water. The only species to transcend our boundaries and all...

    First of all, do no harm

    Of course we (the West?) should cull sharks. & seeing as how the biologists & ichthyologists & such aren't going to sanction any such thing, or will want a long baseline study in order to make a recommendation - & seeing as how the human wisdom on whether or not to do such a thing is sorely lacking - I propose:

    We hire DisneyCorp to manufacture an animatronic body & IBM (or somebody similar - maybe just load Watson up with encyclopedia entries & representative samples of writing?) to devise an artificial personality to mimic as closely as possible the ethical reasoning of Mohandas Gandhi, the late inspiration for the withdrawal of the UK from India. Then put the question to him, & follow his advice.

    Disney will have to be paid. IBM (or whoever) might do it just for the research involved, & to see if the simulation runs true.
