The best way to disable a shark is to shove an oxygen tank into it's gob and wait for it to explode

Do sharks really have noses. I thought they just had a sort of streamlined bow.

Well its just the pointy end I suppose but it does house all manner of senses including olfactory sensors. They don't have nostrils like us so its not a nose in that sense.It does however, house a magnificent sense of smell (far better than ours) and the ability to sense electrical disturbances (ie your functioning nervous system). The nose is relatively sensitive compared with most of the shark. However, that's still not very sensitive, they do not sense pain in the same way we do!
