Oh, goody....real sharks weren't bad enough that now we have to have robot sharks? Wonder if they adhere to Asimov's Robotic
laws?

Hmmnnn. Would that be just the original three laws or would it include
the later-added "zeroeth" law?

Thanks

you could hire Mooron to put on a shark fin and swim around. he can hold his
breath for 6.5 hours, ya know.

Sooooo long that a whole heap of post FOundation & Empire books
came and went. Though some cruel editing would have made them
better.

Since there's no indication the brain is positronic, I doubt it.

Heh... I'm all for sharks eating more humans... as many as they can catch...
Sherman's Lagoon is a favourite comic strip of mine.

I remember when we were chartering in the Exuma Cays and got the "oh so
you're chartering" lip from a fat Yankee in a boat with his friends. Next
morning in the anchorage I saw them waddling over the side for a swim. About
a minute later I saw a shark fin break surface about ten yards away and
watched it swim right under our boat chasing some bait fish. It was about 6
to 7 feet long.... I didn't warn the fat Yankees. It was so-o-o-o-o funny
watching them exit in fear about 5 minutes later.... all that panicked
splashing and screaming as they fought each other for the swim platform on
their boat.

I did swim over about 20 minutes later despite their shouts of "we saw a
shark, get out of the water" and tell them I had seen the shark "before"
they went in for a swim. When they asked incredulously why I didn't warn
them.. I said I was rooting for the shark and got the impression they didn't
want to be annoyed by "charter boat people"..... ha Ha
