Shark Bite Immunity
My wife and I watched a cool show on Shark Attacks on the Discovery Channel. The show featured several marine biologists who study the history and characteristics of shark attacks, especially Great White Sharks. One pattern they have found is that when Sharks attack and bite their victim, the limb or piece of flesh that was bitten off is almost never eaten, but found later washed on shore. Some speculate that this pattern is analogous to humans eating meatloaf made with dog food: it looks good, but when you take a bite it’s pretty gross. If this theory is true then, we, humans look good but probably taste nasty to a shark.
I wonder if there’s some sort of way we can signal to a shark “Hey, I’m a human and I taste gross. Don’t bite me.” I can think of several entrepreneurial ideas already.
