		<description><![CDATA[The Question: In Michigan in early July, thousands of tiny, clear, oily, bead-like things were scattered all over the beach along the water line. We were wondering if they were a natural occurrence or some kind of pollution. Submitted by: Sara, MI (The picture to the left was taken with a cell phone.) The Short [...]]]></description>

that sharks are immune to

Submitted by: Marion F.,    
Somerville, MA The Short
