You look at some people's profiles and you wonder how they made it to adulthood. Some, you wonder if they are really looking for a date, or is it an ego flattering thing. Finally, some, well, you just think what planet did these people come from, and is there a village missing an idiot somewhere?
You're very likely to survive any battle in any war — unless you make the mistake of showing your best friend (normally the hero) a picture of your sweetheart back home.
The hero will be able to cut through a baddies' air supply and breathe off it (Physically impossible)
The hero will be able to hold his breath for up to four minutes, after a tremendous struggle, and then still have enough to smooch the hot chick who is nearly dead, bring her to the surface and she willbe ready to rip her clothes off and do the nasty!
The hero is able to swim so fast that he can out-"fin" the bad guys who have been specifically retained to guard an underground lair.
Sharks always go for the hero
There are always sharks!
The water is so clear you can see the sides of the pool
In the film Sphere, Sharon Stone wants to plan a dive to 300m(1000ft) using a piece of equipment that was designed for fun diving (upto 40m (130ft))
Its cold outside, and there is a roaring fire, with low lights. The fire is casting an orange glow at irregular rythms across the wooden cabin walls. The heat emanating from the fire is comfortable and relaxing. Its flames generate first orange, then red then the yellows that ease the mind and relax the soul.
Some soft soulful music is playing in that background that fills in the comfortable silences and the knowing looks. The remains of dinner on the plates still on the table, and are likely to stay there until morning. Some excellent strong, sweet coffee after the rich and warming wine makes its way down to your toes, as you kick off your shoes.
The warmth of contentment settles in the pit of your stomach, and as you slowly lean back with your head resting on the sofa, you feel some strong fingers playing with your shoulders, and massaging your neck. Your head rolls involuntarily forward to receive these ministrations.
The day's exertions are soothed away with those kneading, knowing fingers. Then slowly, you lift your head and turn to face them. The shape of their face is as engrained on your mind as your own. The smile from them lifts the sound of your heartbeats so that it drowns out the music in your ears.
Their eyes light up when you return their smile. You now turn around and while on your knees, you take the face of the one you desire most at this moment in your hands and look deep into their soul.
There is no sound, not a whisper of the leaves on the trees can be heard, not a high-frequency sound of the misty small waterfall outside your door.
The most eloquent silence; that of two mouths meeting in a kiss.
Funnily enough the guy who wrote Jaws, Peter Benchley, is so horrified of the image that he has created, he is now one of the worlds leading campaigners for shark preservation.
He maintains he had no idea of what he had done.
In the year when the film came out (after the book) 300,000 sharks were killed indiscriminately.
Some of the sharks' population has never risen again.
Your ignorance astounds me. How can you, who knows So much be such an idiot!!
Great white sharks can grow 20 feet in length, weigh up to 5,000 lb and are found in any warm coastal waters - from the Mediterranean to New Zealand. Most, however, live off the coasts of California, Mexico, Australia and South Africa.
The new estimates of their population are due to published later this year by scientists at Stanford University who have been studying the migration of sharks tagged with radio transmitters.
Dr Ronald O'Dor, senior scientist at the Washington based Census of Marine life who has seen the findings of the unpublished report, said the number of great whites in the wild was far smaller than scientists realised.
'The estimated total population of great white sharks in the world's oceans is actually less than the number of tigers,' he told the American Association for the Advancement of Science in San Diego, California.
'We hear an awful lot about how endangered tigers are but apparently great white sharks are pretty close to the same level. Some people say they don't care because they eat people, but I think we have to give them a little space to live in.
'The Australians have now got a system where they put tags on great white sharks and they have receivers on the beaches so when a great white comes into the bay the receiver automatically makes a cell phone call and tells the guy in charge to close the beach. So we can coexist with marine life.'
Despite their public image from the movie Jaws, great whites rarely eat people, finding them too bony for their digestive systems.
Each year they are responsible for five to 10 attacks on people.Some shark experts say attacks on people are usually accidental - with the creatures mistaking people for seals.
Do your research before trying to tell someone who has spent his entire adult life teaching people about sharks.
.. and my jewellery skills are perfectly honed thank you, as you have proved my line by being who you are.
I spent 20 very happy years teaching scuba diving in some of the most amazing places in the Far East and the Middle East. Apart from being nearly blown out of the water by dynamite fishing, shot at by the Burmese navy and having all the food stolen, shark finning is about the most repugnant thing I have seen!
I urge you all to boycott any chinese establishments that sell it. I beg you to find out more about it and make people aware.
All sharks are not dangerous. (in fact only 5/6 varieties are. and out of over 400 different species, thats not bad) Sharks are some of the most beautiful creatures in the world. They are complex organisms that are throw backs to the dinosaur. We have no idea about the majority of shark behaviour and what we do know is that they have a slow reproductive system and it takes years for them to reach maturity.
Without sharks, the sea will be irrevocably damaged and we will lose one of the greatest creatures ever to have blessed us with its beauty and grace.
So, peeps, what do you say when the person you are dating, in an intimate, snuggly-in-a-bug-kinda-conversation, puts their lips to your ear and whispers, "I love you ...."
Then there is a lack-of-god awful silence, when you know you are expected to respond in kind, but, in reality, you dont feel quite the same way ....
Would the wrinklies in Europe stop shouting .. its waking up the Yanks on the other side of the pond - and you know what happens then ... more stupid questions
If you two want to batter yourselves with your handbags, then take it privately in the corner!
In fact, why not ban the EU too!! and OPEC .. and NATO .. and the Crinkley Bottom women's euchre league too ... they are demonic .. all blue rinses and slingback!

Profile idiocies ...

Do people actually answer this tripe?
