Yes, folks, the best week of the year has arrived. It's Shark Week on Discover Channel! Set your Tivos, DVRs and VCRs (if you're still back in the 90s). You DO NOT want to miss this spectacular Selachimorpha week.




Those of you who are not familiar with the superior programming that is Shark Week may be wondering why a seemingly normal person like me would be so excited about a week that features shows about one of the scariest predators on earth. You have obviously never had the pleasure of watching Shark Week and your shark knowledge probably includes trivia you've picked up from Jaws and possibly Deep Blue Sea. You see, I was once like you, thinking all sharks were basically the same. That is, blood-thirsty monsters that attack for the pleasure of the attack. Granted, there are some pretty aggressive sharks out there, but if you'd like to know the truth about the hundreds of varieties of this amazing creature....
WATCH SHARK WEEK!



This year's Shark Week began with the MythBuster's Shark Special. The MythBuster's always do a great job. Even now, I've already learned that the myth of using magnets to repel sharks is in fact false, unless the shark you're trying to repel is a 5lb baby shark. In that case, you could probably just push it away.
