    so die Tränen sieht man nicht

    What do you think Skysharks feed on?

    I thought you knew that Skybuffalo where what caused thunder when they stampeded and there stampeding is mostly caused by them being spooked by Skysharks.

    @firstanointed:

    I think RAID is the perfect solution, you can toss it in the sharks mouths and shoot it so it explodes and then it will rain down on the giant bugs.

    Of course you would have to be careful of the fires below and turning the sky into a giant fireball.

    @allium:
    Interestingly enough, it's been discovered that the bull shark (one of the three most dangerous sharks, and just one of several instances of proof that mankind was not intended to live anywhere near Australia) has the ability to control how much salt passes in its urine. This ability means it can actually survive in freshwater, and it has been documented living as far inland as the southern tip of Lake Michigan. So, if Freshwater Shark counts for your purposes, there you go.

    I can, and do, appreciate the artistic skill involved in making these paintings but I cannot escape the thought that they are, well, stupid. Sorry, but they just are.

    @Roklimber: You just don't get the subtle message the artist is trying to convey. The shark naturally represents the looming financial crisis built on overextending consumer debt.

    See if you stay on the airplane it is safe, but the sky shark (crisis) will naturally come to eat us. The only way to survive is to jump. Note that some of the sky divers have already survived the fall--a clear indication that if we take the proper steps we can avoid being eaten as well.

    @OW-Holmes:Bringer of Fear: You do realise that a lot of sharks are not surface dwellers and most of them will be waiting around ground level to snap up the slower moving people with parachutes deployed ?

    @Jassen: Interesting point. Perhaps then it is a message on government bailouts (parachutes). Sure you survive for a while but the safety it creates also includes a moral hazard problem. You wouldn't sky dive with sky-sharks (make risky investments) if you didn't have a parachute (bailout). You're safe for this part of the jump (this particular financial crisis) but there is always another sky-shark to get you later.

    @OW-Holmes:Bringer of Fear:

    ... and if you try and play it safe and stay on the plane then either:

    a) a mega sky shark will eat the whole thing

    or

    b) the plane will run out of fuel and you will die in a fiery ball.
