    Italian Diver Shows Ability to Hypnotize Sharks by rubbing ampullae of Lorenzini

    An Italian diver showed her ability to put sharks into a trance-like state.  This should definitely not be tried by anyone but a trained professional who knows exactly what they are doing.  This shark is over 10-feet-long and ordinarily could put a nasty bite to your flesh.  But this diver has mastered a technique where she has rubbed the shark’s ampullae of Lorenzini, a group of gelatinous pores about the animals cephalic region, namely the nose and mouth.  This technique is not just for show, it’s to manually check on sharks in the Caribbean and remove things like fishing hooks from the mouth of sharks in the area.

    When the shark is in this trance it must be vertically balanced, as demonstrated in this image.

      I find Sharks to be almost as scary as Midgets, but Liberals love them both. This is a good “Training” Article for Liberals. I think Liberals should practice what they preach. Certain Sharks on on the Endangered list, so I think they should start protecting them and helping them, as this article has proven that we can. But maybe Welfare doesn’t pay enough for Liberals to afford Scuba Lessons.

        You’re a fucking moron. There are already plenty of groups set up to help prevent as much damage to various animals as they possibly can, and it’s not like you’re any better, being all ‘gung-ho’ and wanting war, and yet you don’t want to set foot into enemy territory and you’d rather have someone else in your place.
