Da-Dum, Da-Dum, Da-DUM, Da-DUM

Scientists have discovered that the jaws of great whites are, in fact, powerful enough to bite through just about anything, whether it's sheet metal, a wooden boat bottom, or Robert Shaw.

One of the scientists goes on to note that great whites "are surprisingly cautious predators. The perception that they are mindless, aggressive, feeding machines is something of a misnomer. They are actually quite timid."

That's very reassuring. If I'm ever killed by a great white, I'll be glad to know I was done in, not by an aggressive feeding machine, but a sensitive and timid soul. Maybe one who writes poetry in his spare time.
