I know I was nearly 20 years old at the time and had long ago learnt the difference between fact and fiction, but I was mildly disappointed on 1st January, 1987, that Mondas and the Cybermen had not put in an appearance at any point in the previous 12 months. It would have been cool, terrifying for all the above mentioned reasons, but still cool.

I'm still bitterly disappointed that non of the Dalek invasions of Earth have thus far materialised.

Thank you for explaining but it was still really mad

Well, Clive (the shark) is actually a rather nice person once you move past his Jaws act and you get to know him.

And of course, he was an excellent co-star for John Barrowman in Megashark.

I rationalised it as Convergent Evolution. On Earth, creatures that live their whole life constantly on the move, swimming all the time, whether they be fish, lizards or mammals evolve into a basic pointy tubular shape that has a tail on the end. As these creature spend their lives swimming through clouds of tiny ice crystals, with an electrostatic charge keeping them up in the clouds as they are constantly on the move, then they have evolved a fishlike shape, ie a pointy tube with a tail on the end. This is of course very bad science, but it sort of works.

Actually, I'm not sure who was the bigger ham in Megashark: John or Clive the shark.

At first thought, I'd be inclined to say Clive the Shark. But on second thoughts - Barrowman does have the teeth.

They both liked to chew the scenery.

They certainly chewed up what passed for a script on that movie.

hmmm I think so

Thanking you muchly for that massive insight, hatchling.

Why do you call me hatching what is it I'm not familiar

Hmmmm...somebody was definitely asleep during that lesson at Sea Devil School.

A Hatchling is a young Sea Devil. They're called that because we Eocenes hatch out of eggs, rather than the hairy ape mammal way.

Now, pay attention in future - you might have to answer questions such as this in a test someday.
