Are you afraid of sharks?

SSj4DK64 · 10-12-2004, 06:15 AM

Reading about an independent movie, called Open Water, I was interested to find out that they used real sharks in it. The two actors were dropped into the water with special chain-mail wetsuits, under the watchful eyes of Stuart Cove, a well-known shark expert.

I'm wondering how much you think you'd have to be paid to be dropped into shark-infested waters intentionally? Or if you'd be too afraid no matter how much money was offered to you?

I'd do it for free.

Not even if they gave me 500.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000 bucks!

That would be a blast, I mean you're wearing chainmail and swimming with sharks, with an expert watching over everything. I'd do it for some cash though, but not an overly large sum (A.K.A. anything close to ^, or anything in the hundred thousands)

The Doctor · 10-12-2004, 10:06 AM

Yeah, I'd do that. Dunno how much for.

If I had lots of protective stuff and for like $99,999.99

**Cravdraa** · 10-12-2004, 11:50 AM

Sure I'd do it. It's the hippos that you really need to worry about.

For the love of god, PLEASE don't mention sharks.

My only thoughts when I go in the ocean:

I hope these sharks don't like dark meat...

I wouldn't need to be paid.. it'd be the experience of a lifetime! ^__^ Though.. some money WOULD be good. [img]smile.gif[/img] *poor little uni student* ;_;

Quote of the day, right there.

Yeah, of course I'd do it, right after licking a car battery and wearing a yamulke to a KKK meeting.

I heard Open Water was an extremely crappy movie.

***Heroine of the Dragon*** · 10-13-2004, 03:57 AM

I heard otherwise, Tunbs! But it's all about personal taste! *shrugs*

About the sharks, I'd do it for a movie IF I were guaranteed of not finding myself being digested some-way through it...

Swordmaster Link · 10-13-2004, 07:23 AM

Heck no.

Kain Highwind · 10-13-2004, 04:19 PM

Sure. I'll do it. I'm that brave.

Link2000 · 10-13-2004, 05:56 PM

I'd do it for some cash. Probably at least 500 bucks.

Sure, I'd love to.

I eat sharks for breakfast.

ZIPPYDIPPY19 · 10-14-2004, 06:44 PM

They're good on crackers

I don't think I'd like swimming with sharks.
