I studied these buggers in college (yay for my Marine Bio degree) and if you look at the internals of sharks, they seem put together with much more elegant parts than just about every mammal.
Would you rather have 20 feet of guts crammed into your abdomen or a nice and efficient spiral valve?
Spiral valve FTW.
And the ampules of Lorenizini are simply amazing structures. They are basically RADAR for food.
Back a few months ago, in Africa, we got a phone call that one of the farm workers had been bitten by baby Zebra snake who was sleeping under his pillow. Yes, these bites can be fatal. He texted us that he was "eated by a snake" but that it was OK, because he sucked the poison out and drank some goat milk, which seems to be the thing to do. It is good that he knows this since the nearest paved road is 1 hour away and then it's another 1/2 hour to any hospital - that might or might not have any antivenin.
In case you're wondering, yep, he's fine. I've got a photo of his test message. I'll try to dig it up.
If we have a plank length, then time must also be quantized. This means if we have a minimum measurable length, through a few simple equations, then time - or MEASURABLE time - must also be quantized and have a minimum amount or minimum interval.
