Is it possible for a shark to bite a person and cut him/her clean in half without letting anyone else notice?

My favorite shark movie is "Finding Nemo". for the reason that they protray sharks like Acoholics. Which in many cases,
you can see that they are. Once they smell blood, they go nuts, just like Bruce did with Dory.
I really do not prepare for shark week. i have seen enough shark specials to know, they are dangerous, and try not to look like a seal.
The only myth I can think of, is the surfer on the surf board looking like a seal. and thats really a theory for why sharks attack people.

have a good one

One of my favorite shark movies was Deep Blue Sea. A 1999 movie in which Mako sharks seem to become super intelligent and fight back against the scientists using them to try to find a cure for cancer. My question for Adam and Jamie is this........is it true that Makos are more deadly than Great Whites and are they smart enough to *know* when they are being used and manipulated for scientific research. In other words, how likely is that movie to be real? I'd love to see you bust another movie myth!!

if you fell asleep on a very small boat in the middle of the ocean and if a shark capsizes your boat and you are still asleep and the shark attacks would you feel the bite at first

Hello Adam and Jamie,

I was wondering if you could bust this myth for me. Since it will be shark week soon I figured I'd see if you could bust a myth about sunburn. Myth: Does sun burnt skin really melt ice 5 times faster than unburnt skin?

My fav shark movie is Jaws also. I heard a myth that people who pee in the water attracts the sharks because animals pee when in distress. And also that sharks don't really like human meat, they attack surfers because those surfers are in wet suits, making them look like a seal.

1) How do you think of the shark myths you are about to do?
2) Can you tell us one of the myths you wish to BUST, or an example of what you will do?

I've heard this one thing on the internet and this guy lured a shark to bite bait. Than the shark took the bait and swam away but the guy was still holding on to the fishing pole while he was on his surfboard and he surfed the waves that the shark made while the shark pulled him around. It was a great white. But let me know, is this true? Can it really happen?

Here's a question for Adam:

1)What is scarier than a shark?
2)Are bees scarier than a shark?

Adam said his greatest fear was bees. Lets see him with a shark. Smile

Is Adam afraid of sharks, or just sea-sick?

P.S. I have 2 unrelated myths for you
