Will Barry White Songs Help Sharks Get Down?

iforgotmyfirstlogon writes "From ABC News: Ten resolutely celibate sharks at the National Sea Life Center are getting a blast of Barry White in hopes they'll get in the mood for love." Nothing like a little music to get you in the mood..." CD: Valentines Day should be called Barry White day.

    on Ally McBeal, so it should work on other sharks, too.

    "I have a better Idea. Instead of asking someone else to do something about the current system I think I will voice my opinion to the ./ team and see if I can think of anyother way possible to handle the modding."

    Yeah and while you're busy doing that futile task, here's another one: ask Bill Gates to reconsider his monopoly and opensource the windows code. Oh and ask God for world peace.

    May I kindly suggest that you research the facts more carefully before you accuse others of heresy?

    The earth is flat.

    Voilà, I give you The Flat Earth Society - quote: "Deprogramming the masses since 1547". Granted, those dudes are a little short on evidence right now, but I'm sure they'll come up with something as soon as they find a way to escape their comfortably padded cells.

    The moon is cheese.

    Green cheese, to be exact. Here's the scientific evidence, complete with lots of important looking numbers.

    Pi is 3.

    "Scripture (I Kings 7:23) clearly declares that the value of pi (the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter) is 3, not the secular humanist value of 3.14 taught in every school in Lawrence." Source: this page. (I believe the author might be counseling the prestigious Kansas Education Board. He also has something to say about that ridiculous round earth theory)

    By the way, in my day we didn't have those newfangled processors with floating point units you kids have today, so we had to make do with "PI EQU 3" and we got along with it just fine, thank you very much.

    And whales are fish.

    Yeah, and spiders are not insects, right? Let me quote from this page: "Pure nonsense. Either whales are fish or sharks aren't. I'd say whales are fish." There are more interestings facts to be found on this page, but I have to take my medication now.
