Beautiful thing # 82: Sharks!

 

        Yes, that’s right, Sharks.  Oh stop it, I know that thinking sharks are beautiful because the are so deadly has so been done.  I am simply saying that they are beautiful creatures.  Most of them, anyhow.  There are so many species, there are bound to a few ugly relatives disgracing the family reunion picture, but overall, sharks are neat to look at. 

 True, most fish are.  In general, fish are shiny, pretty, and dumb as rocks (like some female pop stars I know) but sharks are different.  They are not shiny.  They’re all dressed up for the party in a kick-ass suit.   They are not tall and thin either, like most fish.  They are more like underwater jet-fighters which are also beautiful/deadly/cool.

  So when a shark is swimming by using his very beautiful sense of smell to detect his prey from miles away, it strikes awe just like those screaming jet fighters.  But silent.  Silent but deadly.   I’m sorry, I had to.  Go sharks.  Go Jets.  West Side Story rumble tonight.
