Death metal music attracts sharks

If you have something so weird, strange or off-topic to post and think it doesn't belong in any other forum; you're probably right. Please put all your gormless, half-baked, inane, glaikit ideas in here. This might also be a place where we throw threads that appear elsewhere that don't belong ANYWHERE end up, instead of having to flush them. FORUM RULES STILL APPLY.

Death metal music attracts sharks

Post by Anchor Moy »

Apparently, they particularly like AC/DC.
Wonder what the "cute metal" would attract ?

A documentary film crew hit upon a novel technique to attract great white sharks - blasting death metal through an underwater speaker.

The Discovery Channel crew, filming for the Shark Week show Bride of Jaws, were on the hunt for a large great white, wonderfully nicknamed 'Joan of Shark'.

Desperate to feature the 16-foot, 1.6 tonne shark in their documentary, they submerged a speaker to see if the shark would react. Unfortunately they didn't manage to attract Joan, but did catch the attention of two others, one of which was 12 feet long.

Sharks 'hear' by picking up vibrations from receptors on their bodies, meaning they can be attracted to the low-frequency vibrations of heavy music, which apparently sounds like struggling fish.

What can I say except sharks have taste and AC/DC aren't death metal. :-)

Win-win situation there: throw death metal to the sharks. Sharks get to eat, world gets rid of awful music.

A little redundant, perhaps!
