Just hard cartilage I think.

I don't think teeth are strictly made of bone. So I think a shark is allowed to have teeth without breaking the rules.
What skeleton they do have is made of sort of hardened cartilage. Like the stuff that's in your nose and ears.
Just having a sip of tea.
I actually have a completely irational hatred of sharks, they are right up there with wasps. They seem to me to be just really unnecessary, angry creatures.

I dislike wasps!!!
I'm a big fan of tigers, though. I think they are really really goodlooking.

Similar colours, similar stripes........is a tiger just a giant wasp?

I don't think wasps have the colors or the stripes....
Are you sure you're not thinking of bumblebees?

Wasps in England look a bit like bees - they have yellow and black stripes, but they are nowhere near as beautiful as tigers.

Not even a tiny bit as graceful.

How odd, when even a wasp doesn't look quite the same over there.

Well, I could probably find a or two in the cutlery drawer in my kitchen because I have a two year old daughter who never uses them while we keep on buying them.
But hey! I'd love another...Where do I sign?

Hi BB, and welcome! Just click on "Manifesto for the Campaign.." etc at the top of this page and you will find the whole sordid plot spelled out. Towards the bottom is a link for you to sign up. Sooner or later Clive or one of his appointed deputies will come along and do the dubbing. It's not painful. Well not very. And don't worry too much about the paraphenalia like the armour and suchlike - that can come later and I still haven't got round to deciding what I want yet. Just come up with a suitably pompous title and there you go! Clive's yer Worlordly Uncle!

Oh yeah, and these aren't just any old forks, you know, they're sparkling titanium sporks.
BTW my title is "Life President of the Good Intentions Club (Hades branch)" or something like it. Displacement Rules!
