Popular Culture
- US College Hockey Online posters have formed a cult around Roboshark, believing that he will one day take over the world. [http://board.uscho.com/showpost.php?p=3765141&postcount=700 Reference]
Do not underestimate the under water power of Roboshark. He eliminates all sorts of activities on the surface of the waters he dwells in. Especially watersports like windsurfing are hazardous in an area wher Roboshark has been spotted. His giant Jaws and his incredibly sophisticated flashlight between them present the unpleasant certainty of being eaten alive. This is a warning to all those who engage in watersports activities to watch out for Roboshark! He is real! He Will eat you!
