Mythbusters Shark Week Special Part I

shark1.jpg

The Mythbusters are putting their lives on the line for Discovery’s Shark Week. They are exploring such myths as during a shark attack can you poke a shark in the eye, do sharks find “man’s best friend” irresistible. They also tackle the myth to see if flashlights do attract sharks.

To get your fill of Mythbusters and their various myths on sharks, watch the mini myth below to determine if sharks have a color preference. They came up with yellow and white as being color preferences for sharks. So beware when surfing and keep your suits non yellow or white.

    It’s not up and running yet, but I will let you know when it is.

    Anyway, I work with Discovery so I have the inside scoop. I would be happy to share more info if you’re interested. So let me know.

    I hope I’m not overstepping my boundaries, I’m just trying to get the word out about Shark Week 2008.
