Indeed, it's time for yet another fish thread.

Unsurprisingly, this one is about sharks

A while ago I learned here that Greenland sharks can live up to 400 years

Which is really a lot. If you're a Greenland Shark, you could have whitnessed first...ermmm...hand (?) how Shark life changed with the invention of the steam engine for example. That would make for some nice stories, I guess, if you could actually talk.

But oh well.

However this guy doesn't look too happy, so maybe longevity is overrated



For comparison this not-so-long-living guy looks pretty friendly to me:



Maybe Greenland Sharks are just concerned that Trump is after their secret

The sharks might be upset that they are being referred to as 'fish'... most mammals don't like that.

Um, what? Sharks are fish.

I think a Greenland Shark was the model for this:

OF COURSE IT'S UPSET!!!

Imagine living for 400 years, only to be fished up by Icelanders, thrown into a pit to rot while they PEE on you, then dug up and served as a National Dish while half the world points and laughs and the other half vomits!

[Bereta_Eder]

it shouldn't have been a sahrk, his fault

[Aeson]

A place where predators live for centuries ... this is the real reason Trump wants Greenland.

This one looks drunk:



(It's a thing)

[The Mad Monk]

It looks like its own caricature.

Indeed or some Pixar CGI cutie shark

[Bereta_Eder]

it reminded me of that song

Drunk, I’ll come again to our old neighborhood
to play you a little bouzouki with a beautiful double-note melody.

I’ll come to wake you, sweet girl from Faliro,
with a bouzouki, a guitar, and a fine baglamas.

Hello, Papaioannou, bless your little bouzouki!

And if by chance you don’t wake up,
and start up with your old ways again,
you’ll break my poor heart once more.

When the bouzouki is playing, pay attention to the melody,
so that you’ll remember the early days,
sweet girl from Faliro.
