How much energy does it take to move a one-ton submerged object 100 miles?

The calories provided by a couple of buoys, a few license plates, and the occasional bite out of a surfboard.

Indeed-you’d think people might just watch out or stay from areas where sharks and other dangerous animals are prone to go, instead of wanting to kill off every species God made that bites-but that would require too much sense, I suppose...

Why is he wearing a jacket with little anchors on it?

I’m near Detroit. Should I be concerned?

Yes, but not because of this shark.

We were just in Mississippi last week and lots of people were talking about the beaches in Alabama being closed because of sharks. So they might, indeed, be headed west.

One of my favorite character actors of all time.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murray_Hamilton

If you’ve never seen The Drowning Pool with Paul Newman, rent it this weekend. The interaction between Newman and Hamilton is world class.

J.H. Kilbourne: You know what she wants to do with that land, Mr. Harper? She wants to turn it into a Goddam sanctuary for birds!

Lew Harper: I think that’s kind of sweet.

J.H. Kilbourne: Well now, look, I’m all for saving wildlife like the next fella, but we gotta think about America’s future. Energy sources just aren’t that easy to come by.

Lew Harper: Aha! Did you come to that conclusion out of patriotism or just greed?

J.H. Kilbourne: [after a pause] Little of both, Mr Harper, - like most men of wealth.

Whenever she swims to the surface and her fin leaves the water, it transmits a signal to NSA! Metadata only!

I hear McLame is headed to Miss to support TC. Maybe he could be enticed to go swimming?

I hear that there are these things called, “firearms.” Anyone here know anything about them? :)

No point in hoping for that. There’s some trash that even sharks won’t eat.

I do remember the movie, vaguely.

In the woods here there are wild hogs, coyotes, and the occasional mountain lion-like most people, I hike there several times a week-and if I see fresh tracks of hogs or the mountain lion, I’m going to back out of that trail, making lots of noise, and take one. But I will not put one toe into water where sharks might be-ever. They don’t leave tracks, and there is no other trail...

In the past, it was hard for scientists to know much about great white sharks because they're too big to capture and study while they're alive. But scientists are figuring out more about the animals -- and this week, they've learned a shark they've named Katharine could be headed straight for the Mississippi Coast.

Hurricanes named Katrina, great white sharks named Katharine - the Gulf Coast has it all! What next, I wonder?

I'd say yes, shark or not.

Thinking of moving to Detroit proper. I love this town. Urban dystopia. Full speed ahead.
