    TIS ONE OF THE SCARIEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME
    and one of the best films ever made

    robert shaw-quint-could be my favorite all time character
    Here lies the body of Mary Lee; died at the age of a hundred and three. For fifteen years she kept her virginity; not a bad record for this vicinity.

    Over time the movie has become less scary

    but when that movie came out, its was all people could talk about
    that head rolling out of the boat scared people silly

    also wasnt their a white sighting around there 3 weeks ago or so ? i believe i read that

    off martha's vineyard? well there was one siting of a fin or something by a lifeguard on south beach (I used to swim there like every day! it's funny because my brother was afraid of sharks and we all made fun of him...oops) but they put helicopters and stuff up but couldn't confirm it. they closed the beach for a day just to make sure. then there was a "siting" at State beach down the street (many scenes from jaws filmed here), but that turned out to be a hoax. But then, like a week later, they found a dead shark (not sure what kind) off the coast of nantucket.

    SOUTH CAROLINA IS HOME TO THE SAND TIGER SHARKS (the ones with the scary fang looking teeth ) but they live in deeper water near shipwrecks so nothing much to worry about there

    I thought south carolina had the most shark "accidents" on humans in north america (I think I may have heard that on shark week at some point).

    YES THEY HAVE ACCIDENTS OCCASIONLY

    i meant to say the sandtiger is the most abundant in those waters and they live deeper

    of course other sharks are in the water (my mistake)

    I think sharks are cool. Always been fascinated by the nature stuff.
    I'll have to check it out (with a grain of salt, of course).

    We go to Myrtle Beach every year and last year we went on a sealife boat ride. the tour guide said the sand tiger sharks do come towards the shore. He said they like it near sand bars. I guess they are not that big...maybe a foot at the most if I remember correctly. He said if your going to get bit in SC good chance its going to be one of these little guys. The chances are still very remote.

    I believe sand tiger sharks can grow to over 3 metres.

    maybe the tour guide was talking about the little sand sharks. I've seen those, they are about 1-2 feet.
