I know this is entertainment more than science but anyway; They should have used something of the same squashiness as a sharks head on the end of their ram. The difference between being hit by a fist and a fist in a boxing glove is quite significant.

You're correct. This is the internet and not school. But since employers are now examining your digital life on the internet super highway before they hire you, I can safely say that if you were under my consideration, you would not find yourself employed at my company. Always remember that proper grammar can make the difference between, "I helped my Uncle Jack off a horse." and "I helped my uncle jack off a horse." and that clear communication is important in ANY environment.

Yup, the famous line by Robert Shaw "yep, 3 tons of em".

@AungTH1 in what way? A phobia is an _irrational_ fear. I've been in water with 6ft long reef sharks and not been afraid, but I've also been close to tiger sharks, and I don't think there was anything irrational about my fear of them (I swam into a rock pool that they couldn't follow me into, and watched them from there.)

@chrisofnottingham sharks heads are actually quite hard

[Ragitsu]

3,000 lbs? Wasn't Jaws 3 tons?

@chrisofnottingham is squashiness a scientific term? :P

@Frixix What's the make and model of the boat though? Looks nice enough.

stupid people. destroying a beaty boat just for fun.... go read the wood composite manual used on the boat and you get the pressure that is needed to break it....
