Mega Shark's Awesomeness Explained with Science

mega-shark-infographic.jpgSure, it was pretty rad when the amazing beast known as Mega Shark erupted from its watery home to take down a passing aircraft in Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, but did you ever stop and think if it was scientifically feasible? Fuck yeah, it was! (Assuming that Mega Shark is capable of reaching speeds of over 700 km/h, which he clearly is.)

This infographic explores the physics of the colossal fish, helping us to better understand just what our cartilaginous foe must be capable of. Though, really, without a companion chart explaining what science makes Giant Octopus so awesome, I'm not sure how much help this is really going to be in the long run.

will-ferrell.jpgBy looking at the last three mainstream films big Hollywood actors starred in within the last five years, subtracting the voice-acting parts and applying maths, Forbes has compiled a shaming list of the ten most overpaid stars, and has found that Will Ferrell earns the least back in box office for every dollar he's paid.

Would you like to see the full list, and see where Eddie Murphy places since you know he's got to be on there? Oh, good, here it is:

1. Will Ferrell

2. Ewan McGregor

3. Billy Bob Thornton

4. Eddie Murphy

5. Ice Cube

6. Tom Cruise

7. Drew Barrymore

8. Leonardo DiCaprio

9. Samuel L. Jackson

10. Jim Carrey

You may now refer to the IMDb to see what major release films Billy Bob Thornton and Ice Cube have even been in in recent years. (Hint: think Mr. Woodcock and Are We There Yet? sequels.)
