Not A Spark, A Shark

            Only one physicist was in the experiment chamber, the rest watched from behind wide triple-pane windows in the control room.
            He dripped a red solution into a vial made of diamond while the audience leaned forward in their La-Z-Boys.
            Suddenly, lasers pierced the vial from every corner of the room! Smoke everywhere!
            One physicist yelled, “A spark! A spark!”
            In the control room they heard their colleague faintly, “Not a spark! ... A shark!”
            The smoke dissipated slowly.
            What they saw horrified them. A great white shark had appeared – shattering the vial – and was thrashing over towards the passed-out physicist.
