they also tested whether a shark could break through a shark cage swimming at full speed. that myth was confirmed they tested whether or not a shark could bust through a ships hull also. I believe that was confirmed as well. |

Diary of a Shark Man is being by far the best Shark Week show next to Air Jaws. |

"shit it's long been proven that pushing on a sharks nose will stop it in it's tracks. it screws up their equalibrium and affects their nervous system." It's long been proven that pushing on a shark's nose will funnel your hand down their tapered nose into their gaping maw. You punch them in the gill area if possible, but anywhere you can. No way am I putting even more of my body parts near the one dangerous part on a shark. |

That "Scientist" who was bitten by the bull sharks was a tard. Reminds me of that Grizzly bear "expert" who was killed a few years ago by a bear. You can stop a shark from attacking by pushing on it's nose. All of the sensing nerves on the nose are disrupted if touched while it's eating. Saw it on a science show. Some guy was hanging a piece of meat off the side of a boat. Just as a shark was about to bite the meat, the dude would push against the shark's snout and it would turn then away all confused. Look up "ampullae of Lorenzini" on Google. |

They used reef sharks on Mythbusters, not bull sharks. That was the whole reason they went to the bahamas. |
