Well, I was grouping groupers into the same category; they are
fish, too. However, for _you_ to denigrate groupers is
intra-phylum-discrimination.

And that's not prohibited. Especially here, high on the food chain.

High and complacent. Read on...

Bordering on arrogance, in fact. :)

Oh, like a Google grouper?

Furthermore, I don't think all fish are equally worthless. Those
cute little colorful ones which reside in home aquariums can be
relaxing in a hypnotic way to the duller mind. But the big ones
that eat people and

But it takes 500 of them just to make a snack.

They're a delicacy. You're only supposed to eat a few at a time.

Shark. Eat a few at a time. Hee hee.

Um, I see your point

other fish I may want to eat serve little purpose to a progressive,
advanced society.

We've been evolving longer than you have. And we're not making
holes in the ozone layer. ;)

Longer but slower. Much slower. As a matter of fact, sharks in

Now long is that in shark years?

particular pretty much hit a dead stop prior to the beginning of the
Age of Dinosaurs. Ergo, for the last 200+ million years, all they do
is swim around and take up space in the sea just like their
forefishies did in

Once you're achieved perfection there is no evolutionary pressure in
the scheme of natural selection to send the species off in new
directions.

Yes, sharks are called "the perfect eating machine". But what else do
they do that's interesting? I would hardly say that spending a life just
swimming and eating equates to having achieved perfection on any
reasonable scale in the universe as a whole.

the good ol' Triassic. Humans, on the other hand, evolved at least
1000 times as much in the most current 5 million years alone! Fish
have little reason to brag, -especially when one considers how ugly
they are.

Humans evolved faster because they had more to imrove on and less time
to do it. Eventually, they may reach the evolutionary perfection that
sharks have. Well, probably not -- sharks have avoided the unwanted
capability to blow themselves up in massive quantities.

Humans had more to improve on because they had more potential to begin
with. The conclusion is unavoidable: sharks are an evolutionary cul-de-
sac who persist only because of the vastness of their preferred
environment. Such a predator dwelling on land would surely have been
eliminated long ago by the stupidest humans you can imagine (barring your
reflections on some of the posters here).

One of the essences of sharkness is the beauty of sleekness and
balance.

Simple symmetry and simple mentality. Whoopee twang.
