No. I would pay to see mike tyson fight a gorilla.
No, the gorilla does not get cell-tech. Mike gets the cell-tech

The shark hasn't eaten for 10 whole days? I'm no marine biologist, but I would think after 10 days that shark isn't going to be much of a challenge. Frankly, I would be suprised if, after 10 days of starvation, the shark was even alive.
So yea, I'll take that bet.
edit to point out a few facts:
1) A human typically dies after 7 days of starvation. By the 5th day the person experiences fatigue, dizzyness, and loss of strength.
2) Sharks don't sleep. I would imagine that this fact alone would indicate that the metabolisim of a shark is faster than that of a human.Last edited by GimpyPaw; 12-27-2006 at 08:23 PM.

Yeah, sharks dont need to eat quite as much as humans, so he wouldnt be anywhere near starvation, he just be that much more pissed off cause he hadnt eaten for 10 days. You have to be on drugs to vote yes. And since the only other choice is to get violated by michael jackson, ill have to go with that one (maybe afterwards id just wanna through myself in the water with the shark though).

I would freak out. Knife or no knife, yo lyfe is ova. It's more adept in the water than you are, and chances are it'll chow up a good part of you even if you manage to somehow kill it. That is not worth 1 mil.

Being that you didnt say how big the tank is, Ill say yes. 15 foot shark. 17 foot tank. I'll shimmy underneath him and cut him up for a couple hours.....

I highly doubt the army knife would do much damage to him anyway.
I never smile if I can help it. Showing one's teeth is a submission signal in primates. Whenever someone smiles at me, all I see is a chimpanzee.......begging for its life.

Looks like your right and I'm wrong.
http://www.elasmo-research.org/educa...metabolism.htm
Metabolic rate measurements are available for a few species of sharks, mostly small individuals in warm water. Theoretically, a small shark would be expected to have relatively higher metabolic rates than a large one, and sharks in warmer environments to have a faster metabolic rate than those in cooler waters. If the metabolic rate for a Spiny Dogfish is scaled for size and temperature, it comes to about 20 milligrams of oxygen per kilogram of body weight per hour. Thus, a 15-foot (4.6-metre) White Shark has a metabolic rate only about three times that of a scaled-up dogfish - much less than the ten times one would predict based on body temperature alone. Thus the White Shark burns its fuel very efficiently.
Which raises an interesting question: how often does a large White Shark need to eat? Carey and his co-workers estimate that, with a metabolic rate of 0.2 Calories per kilogram per hour, 65 pounds (30 kilograms) of whale blubber would provide enough energy to maintain a 15-foot (4.6-metre), 2,075-pound (943-kilogram) White Shark about six weeks. Since the procedure used by Carey et alii would actually over-estimate the shark's metabolic rate, a large White Shark that had consumed a comparable quantity of caloric energy may be able to go two months or more between meals. At an average cruising speed of 2 miles (3.2 kilometres) per hour, a Great White may swim more than 2,900 miles (4,600 kilometres) on a single meal. No matter how an individual animal slices its total energy pie, that's terrific fuel economy!When the opportunity has arrived,
