Mark Evolution is a tricky thing.

Sven Well, yes and no.

Mark Sharks haven’t really evolved in millions of years or something, right?

Sven Sure.

Mark But what if they did?


Sven Uhm, all right, so what?

Mark Well they would evolve! And change!

Happy Sven That would be the idea, over thousands of years, but sure. I’m not sure why they would start now…

Mark Don’t worry about the why. I am saying, it is happening.

Sven All right. Sure. Evolving shark.

Happy Mark And birds used to be dinosaurs, right?

Sven Uhm, yes?

Mark So! Those lizards evolved into birds! And sharks, sharks just sat there. So maybe there’s a link.

Sven Between sharks and birds?

Happy Mark Yes!

Sven Well… no.

Happy Mark There could be! And I submit to you that either way, evolution trends toward making everything better at what it does. And as such, sharks would be better killers.

Sven I suppose?

Happy Mark Yes! And so they will develop many of the same criteria that eagles have! Wings! Eyesight the works. And they will be so spectacular we will have to abandon the name shark for it shall be too plain!

Happy Sven You’re really getting into this.

Happy Mark We will have to call them Awesome!

Happy Sven Awesome?

Happy Mark Yes! “Hey, Bob, did you see that Awesome over there?” I sure did, Ted. I hope that Awesome doesn’t fly back over here!”

Happy Sven The Awesome!

Happy Mark Because it will be!

Sven I can not argue this.

Happy Mark Of course you can’t.

Happy Sven And when it hunted you it would be called an Awesome Attack.

Happy Mark Yes! You will have been awesomed to death!

Happy Sven Death by Awesome!

Happy Mark A horrible but respectable way to go.

Happy Sven Maybe we could make it better and breed in an electric eel!

Happy Mark Oh my god…

Happy Sven Then it could be a Shock and Awesome!

Happy Mark Wow… yeah. Man. Man! We need to get on this!

Happy Sven We really do. But first another round. Inventing the best predators ever is thirsty work.
