Ocean of Pseudoscience Linkfest, Round 6

Posted on September 10, 2010September 10, 2010 By Andrew Thaler

It’s the final day for Ocean of Pseudoscience, and our favorite observant nerd has weighed in on Shark Diver’s challenge. On Wednesday, Underwater Thrills broached the question “Do bull sharks have high enough testosterone levels that you can juice off bull shark blood?” We cried bull, but Christie did the leg-work to smash this video-game inspired myth.

  • Observations of a Nerd – Testosterone Levels In Carcharhinus leucas: Is It All Bull?

The answer may surprise you.

Ya like dags? has joined in with yet another awesome pseudoscience take-down: Ya Like Dags – Flipper is a fraud!
