Invisible Sharks - Are You Kidding Me?

Unfortunately my friends, this is not a joke. It does however explain how a Jedi fell victim to one in Deep Blue Sea.

R.I.P. Samuel L. Jackson.

All kidding aside, it has been reported and researched that about 10% of the sharks in existence have the ability to become "invisible" utilizing a God given optical trick. They've been nicknamed phantom hunter of the fjords. Their real name however, is Etmopterus Spinax or Velvet Belly Lantern Shark which lives in the deep, deep waters of the Northern Atlantic Ocean.

I for one am not a surfer and while the ocean is beautiful and relaxing at times, I do not have any urge what-so-ever to play in waters that are not mine. They belong to the millions of critters, creatures and animals alike who reside below the H2O and seaweed. You won't find me on the news with a bite in my behind, nor will you see a video on YouTube of Jimmy Kicks, Chub Johnson or Grip Johnson peeing on me to alleviate the pain from the sting of a jellyfish. I mean, at least not unintentionally. I know, I know, I'm not supposed to be such a worry-wart and I'm supposed to live life to the fullest and all that jazz. Well you know what, I like living and just as one shouldn't wander the streets of Compton, Los Angeles, CA at midnight alone - I don't think we should play in a sharks "hood"; at least, not without knowing the consequences.

All I will say is this Mexican worry-wart admires the ocean like a hot chick at a nude beach - from afar and with caution. Especially when God decides to have fun and say, "You know what, let's make the world's oldest and deadliest killing machine invisible...yeah, that'll be fun."

For more on Jaws "The Pseudo X-Men Animal", the Discovery Channel goes into great detail about this shark. I encourage those of you who are interested or curious to check the full article out. The link is below for your enjoyment. Beware - now you see it - now you don't!
