Sharks Attack New York!! Well, Sort Of . . .
Monday, July 24th, 2006
To promote Shark Week, airing July 30 – August 4, Discovery Channel has hung a 446 foot long inflatable shark atop its Silver Spring, MD building. They’re calling it the biggest Shark Week stunt ever. To accompany the inflatable, street teams with pun-filled names like Bight University Chewleaders, will roam the streets of New York. A team of surfers with surf boards will wander about apparently to create intrigue.
Thanks Brian!

The only way to swim with the sharks is to become one… and that’s just what Fabien Cousteau, the grandson of legendary oceanographer Jacques Cousteau, does in his new CBS special, Shark: Mind of a Demon, with Fabien Cousteau. Cousteau fabricated his own submersible “shark submarine” that looks, acts and moves like a real shark. But Cousteau almost became fish food when the sub stopped working and sank to the bottom of the ocean. The show airs this Wednesday night, June 28 at 8pm on CBS.

Got Time To Kill?

The Beast is on the USA Network this Tuesday, May 31 at 1:30pm. The plot: Mysterious things happen at the coast of Graves Point: An empty boat lies at the shore, divers vanish. The sea biologist Dr. Talley thinks he knows the solution of the mystery: In the depth there is a gigantic squid. This one didn’t even make it to DVD (VHS only) so it must be a winner!
Water On The Brain
Tuesday, May 2nd, 2006
David Blaine‘s latest stunt (spending a week living in an 8-foot acrylic sphere filled with water) has begun… Shirtless (as usual) with an oxygen tube in his mouth, he slid into his snow globe-like “human aquarium” Monday at Lincoln Center. In a week, he will remove the device and attempt to hold his breath underwater longer than the record of 8 minutes, 58 seconds. He also will try to escape from 150 pounds of chains and handcuffs during the breath-holding finale, which will air live in a two-hour ABC special, “David Blaine: Drowned Alive,” on May 8.
