Great White? Hammerhead? Whale shark? What’s my favorite shark? Why don’t you ask me what is my favorite kind of chocolate cake? All of them.

Here are some of my favorite shark facts. I memorized them years ago. I wanted other shark freaks to know as much about Sharkum Radus as I do.
1. The Whale Shark can weigh as much as 18,000 piranhas!

3. Sharks can swim up to 40MPH. The average Segway dork chariot can reach speeds up to 13MPH. But it doesn’t matter: if your Segway flies off a pier or a deck, you’re screwed. Segways don’t float and the average human can only swim 3MPH.

5. Shark skeletons are made out of EARS.
6. Sharks are “apex predators,” which are predators that have no predators of their own, save for man. The other fish in the ocean talk about the shark behind its back. “He’s a dick,” they say. But sharks are all “Whatever.”
7. Jaws is a really sad movie.

9. Shark leather can be made into a thong that is four times stronger than cowhide.
10. Dolphins are sharks who like to watch Glee. Also: dolphins are mammals, like rats. Sharks are sharks.
11. Sharks have an amazing sense of smell. They can smell blood in the water from up to a mile away. I bet blood in the water smells like bacon in my skillet to a shark.

13. Strange things have been found inside of a shark’s stomach like suits of armor, bottles of wine and even torpedoes! Legend has it that pirate’s gold was once found in a shark’s stomach. But don’t go be getting any ideas. Ghost sharks exist.
14. Eating a bowl of sharks fin soup does not give you the power of a shark. It does give you the power of a doucheberry. In order to make sharks fin soup, sharks are "finned," which means their fins are cut off and the rest of the shark is tossed back into the sea.
15. Barracudas are jealous of sharks.
