I mean, I know it would play havoc with the marine ecosystem and even with human use of the ocean, but _man_ would I love to see them. And have a drawer full of fresh white teeth. It’s a ongoing snark thread, not a discontinued shark thread. Though, thinking about it, I probably shouldn’t criticise someone with a drawer full of fresh teeth. Hmm. How about them wobbegongs, eh? ---

> [@Chimera](#): > > There’s a certain irony to this; So you pitted me yesterday for politely answering a physics question in GQ. And today you pitted me again, attempting to point at me and laugh about how dumb I am, when you were whooshed by a joke about the Dunning-Kruger effect? Maybe give it a rest for a few days, and try again towards the end of the week? I’m sure I will eventually do something pitworthy, I can be a complete jerk sometimes. ---

Open a Troll thread and you get snark. Open a Snark thread and you get cat fights. Wonder what a Cat Fight thread would be like? This must be the dope. ---

A goth cat? That’s so emo. Are they always black? I love a black cat. I would leave the claws. Cause that’s just how I roll! Who needs nice furniture? ---

What’s going on with this [new necromanser](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20784029&postcount=22)? Or should this have been posted in the troll omnibus thread? I’m so confused! ---

> [@Riemann](#): > > Don’t we have a Quantum Hippopotamus thread? No. The main problem is that quantum hippos have to be cooled to near absolute zero with liqiud helium or else their waveform will collapse. Therefore, despite pie-in-the-sky singularitian fantasies, we will likely never see consumer-level quantum hippos, or, indeed quantum versions of any Whippomorph. ---
