...German scientists say sharks, long considered as just aquatic killing machines, apparently have feelings too and are more likely to mate if the right music is played to them.
James Last, Justin Timberlake and Salt-N-Pepa are among the artists who get the sharks in the mood for love beneath the waves but Britney Spears left them cold.
Yup.For the study, each Sea Life Centre played two hours of music a day. Each site played a different title, from classic to rock to hip-hop. Visitors and Sea Life staff were asked to watch the behaviour of the sharks.
In Konstanz and Dresden, visitors watched the typical courtship behaviour of sharks. The creatures followed and bit each other in their fins. At the Timmendorfer Strand aquarium, it looked as if the sharks were dancing to the rhythm of the music. Jens Hirzig, display supervisor at Sea Life Timmendorf, said: "The creatures swam around each other and it seemed that they were dancing with each other while listening to Joe Cocker.
He added: "But what surprises us especially was that we discovered 50 eggs. This makes us very happy." At Sea Life Munich, the sharks did not show any reaction to Britney Spears, although staff reported that there seemed to be an increase among cuddles shared by teenage visitors.

Ha ha... give her time, she'll get it together and those sharks will be rolling around in no time. The fact that JT put these maneaters into a super/sexy love/trance is no surprise at all, by the way -- just proof of order in the universe.
