We should be more concerned with smaller 6 ft ones that occupy our halls of Congress.

A couple TV shows ago there were some underwater cams that showed what they thought was a juvenile megladon swimming alongside some great whites.

It’s tough to tell how big it is, they need to throw (insert your favorite candidate here) in the water next to it for scale.

I saw that and couldn't figure out if we were being hookwinked by the way the show ended...weird ending...

I had the same mixed feeling about that show. The mermaid show was pretty goofy.

Yes, it was...I couldn't finish watching it, it was morphing into the "Hunt for Bigfoot" Show...
