Aug 26 2008Move Over, Robot: Goblin Shark Is Scarier
Goblin sharks look scary as hell and are scary as hell. Sure they're only a couple feet long, but they're uglier than my sister and have tons of sharp little teeth. Watch the video around 0:20 to see how it's mouth comes out of its face Aliens style to munch on dude's arm. Also, a friend told me that's what a woman's vagina looks like.

Thanks to Libby, who once punched a goblin shark in the mouth because it looked at her funny.

which feels fantastic and defeats the purpose of a blowjob if she doesn't have nice teeth.

That may be the coolest and creepiest thing I will see all week.

That thing looks like it needs to be punched. You don't see that too often in animals but this one genuinely looks like an asshole. It's the Pete Wentz of the animal kingdom.

That's a little one! I've seen preserved skeletons that have jaws over 15" from front to back! How'z that for scary?
Awesome vid, though! Never seen a live one before.

I've always said that when she smiles, Jessica Simpson is a dead ringer for a Goblin Shark.

What makes the goblin shark really scary is it swims around with an eerie horror movie soundtrack emanating from its core...

Apparently, it can grow up to 11 feet and weigh 350 lbs - that's scary as shit!
22. sonja - August 28, 2008 1:45 AM
all shark jaws come forward when attacking. Not fake.
23. rory - August 30, 2008 10:42 AM
@21 I've got something that can grow up to 11 feet and weigh 350 lbs :)

Sonja is right. Most if not all shark species' jaws work the same way as shown in the video. The upper row of teeth closes down onto the lower row instead of the lower row moving upward, unlike mammals. It's a prehistoric attribute that exists in sharks to this day.
