Yawning sharks.

You know, I just found a photo gallery of sharks yawning, and I'm thinking, "Dude, if a shark's mouth is open, that's not a yawn."

Because, y'know, if that was the case, Jaws would have been a real yawn-inducing movie. Which we know, is..well, I don't know. Maybe now that I'm older, I don't find it quite so scary, but when I was smaller, MAN, was I scared.

I was a kid when I watched Jaws III, so you know that scene where some poor fellow gets eaten, and all you saw was his severed hand floating away in the water? I was terrfied of that scene. I would open my room door, and be all scared that the severed hand would float out at me and ravage me.

That's right, folks. I wasn't scared of the shark -- I was scared of the disembodied hand. Which goes to show what kind of messed up pysche I had as a kid. Mind you, I also had a nightmare of Mikhail Gorbachev rising out of the ground and chasing me, so...

But these people seem to think that any animal with a gaping wide mouth is a yawn. Like this lamprey here. Saying that you took a picture of a lamprey yawning is about the same as saying that you took a picture of your vacuum cleaner yawning -- it means you are kooky and silly, wiggy-piggy.

Well, all these yawning picturs have -me- yawning, so off to bed with me.
