Participantstockstradr: A shark fact, if you please. If you’re going to post here, you need to pony up the shark facts.
C’mon, dude, you know you have one!

ParticipantKilo: Wow. Yup, Peggy didn’t pull any punches, did she? To me, she represents good old fashioned conservatism (she was a speech writer for Reagan) and I have no doubt after hearing that what she really thinks.
Or Murphy, either.
Not that I was planning on voting for either McCain or Obama, but she taps into that rising discontent among “true” Republicans with how far the GOP has strayed from our roots and core beliefs.

ParticipantShark fact #19: One of the reasons that sharks are such successful predators is that they have such super senses.
Two-thirds of a shark’s brain is dedicated to its keenest sense — smell.
Some sharks have eyes similar to a cat. A mirror-like layer in their eyes allows them to see better in the water. This allows the shark to hunt in clear seas or murky water.
To top it off, sharks have a few unusual senses. For instance, they are able to feel vibrations in the water using a line of canals that go from its head to its tail. Called a “lateral line”, these canals are filled with water and contain sensory cells with hairs growing out of them. These hairs move when the water vibrates and alerts the shark to potential prey.
Sharks also have a sensory organ called the “ampullae of Lorenzini” which they use to “feel” the electrical field coming from its prey.

ParticipantShark fact #14: Not all sharks are fierce carnivores. Some are quite harmless. Oddly enough, the most harmless sharks tend to be the largest! The basking shark, the whale shark and the megamouth sharks all fit this description.
These huge sharks eat plankton, a tiny shrimp-like creature found in the ocean. To do this, they swim forward with their mouths wide open. “Gill rakers” at the back of their throat strain the tiny food from the water.
