When I was at a restaurant when I was little, I was told by my sister that if you mix salt and pepper into your water, baby sharks are born. I believed this for a few years, and one day I tried it. I grabbed the salt, pepper, and a glass of water and went outside to my driveway. Needless to say, I had a good laugh.
