  3. So, I guess that means that for a little while there, BradM was the "neighbour of the beast".
  4. OB1: it is in theatres as we speak. AD: One stat from the movie is that soda-pop-machines kill more people annually than sharks do. You are correct.
  5. Okay, that is the perfect example of why sharks are not a threat. People are bitten by sharks quite regularly, but only 5 people per year are killed. Given that a shark could swallow a person any time it wanted, this shows that the shark is merely checking to see if the person is food. When the shark realizes that the person is not food, it lets the person go back to shore. Sharks eat, among other things, injured seals. Healthy seals swim smoothly, with fluid movement. Injured seals swim erratically with flailing movements; much like a swimming human. It is reasonable that a shark would taste a flailing animal in the water, but the fact that this tasting almost never results in eating a human is a real testament to the intelligence and selectivity of sharks.
  6. Yes, and it is done by fishermen laying out "long-lines" of 60 miles or so, with a series of hooks all the way along. During the movie, they chased away some poachers and took the long-line, and found 107 sharks caught on it. (As well, innumerable other animals and fish get caught there, too, including seals and turtles.) Of the 107 sharks found on the line, all but a few were already dead. Oh, and [color:purple]it was really nice to watch fishermen cut the tails and fins off of living sharks and then kick them back into the water to sink and suffocate, while they bleed to death. (Sharks can only breathe if they keep moving.) I should also point out that long-line-fishing is legal in most places in the world; but thankfully not everywhere.
  7. Okay, well that is actually a controversial number. Unfortunately, there has been no real count done and there has never been much interest in saving sharks until now. The 90% allegedly gone is a number estimated on the basis of the scant evidence available, but is the number used in the movie. What they can do, however, is make a good estimate of how many sharks are killed by humans at any given time. The movie was 89 minutes, and at the very end they told us that, while we watched the movie, approximately 15,000 sharks were slaughtered. (I think that was the number.) So, if 90% aren't gone, that is a good guess; and no matter what the real number, this is a bad situation. (At the very least we need sharks to eat the sea-creatures who eat plankton, which produces more than 75% of the Earth's oxygen. Lose the sharks = more plankton-eaters = less plankton = less oxygen = humans die. Maybe that final consequence, though, wouldn't be such a bad thing; given that we did this to ourselves.)
  8. This movie is incredible. It is a documentary that teaches us that sharks are actually not a threat to humans, and exposes the mass slaughter of sharks going on worldwide, for the sake of making shark-fin-soup. Approximately 90% of sharks are now gone, and it is entirely because of humans. Sharks had no predators before us, and have existed from before the dinosaurs. Go see this movie, in theatres right now, and bring everyone you know. I have already contacted the shark-saving-group to see what I can do to help with this campaign, and I encourage you to do so as well.

  10. You should post the dates here on The Cavern West as well as on the board at www.upstreamentertainment.com If you post them here on the western board, I'll "stick" the post at the top for all to see.
  11. Theme: Songs that make you dance (or at least tap your foot) everytime you hear it! 1. Dylan - Sara Jane 2. Bob Marley - Is This Love 3. Stevie Wonder - I Wish 4. Blind Boys of Alabama - Spirit in the Dark 5. Stiff Little Fingers - Inflammable Material 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.
  12. Theme: Count the Claps First song has one syllable in the title, second one has two, third one three, etc. This applies to the song title only (the artist's name isn't involved), and if all goes well we'll end nicely with the 12th pick having 12 syllables in the title and MarcO won't have to open a can of regulatory whoop-ass. 1.

  13. I just looked at who is online, and there have been dozens of anonymous, non-logged-in, users looking at User Profiles in the last 15 minutes or so. There is/are definitely a bot or bots checking out this site and scouring it for information about users. Lame.
  14. Okay, my instructions were unclear; I should be more specific... 1. Upload a song to www.sendspace.com ; and 2. link to that song so that others can download it, thereby making a mix with me.
  15. I'll start: Dancin' Fool by Frank Zappa
  16. I think that we may be going a little too far with government regulation if we start putting people in jail for things that we used to expel them for... Link to full story.

  20. HeadyMamaMyrna speaks the truth (as always). I'm in for the show tonight.
  21. Theme: Songs That Mention Booze 1. John Prine - Yes, I Guess They Oughtta Name A Drink After You 2. Bunchofuckingoofs - Alcoholiday Turned Alcoholocaust 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. That's right. The wave of Zappa is over. Welcome the new era ... only songs by punk bands. ~ With love; SM.
  22. I know that NFtTS is on after the Rheos, so is 11:30 a reasonable estimate for when they'll hit the stage? (I guess that's pretty good for them, being about 8:30 BC time.)
