Dude. Those giant marine dinosaurs and such fill me with dread. It's bad enough with animals like sharks, squids, and whales; the idea of being underwater in the open ocean, knowing those humongous beasts are out there... somewhere... maybe directly under me, with their giant mouths and all that... *shudder*

My local zoo has replicas of a great white and giant squid hanging from the ceiling of a visitor's center, and I honestly have a tough time looking up at them. Likewise, when I visited the House on the Rock in Wisconsin, there's a life-size scene of a whale fighting a giant squid and a walkway that takes you right past the gaping maw of the whale. I had to keep my head turned away from it and look at the wall exhibits.

I know it's ridiculous, and as an adult in his forties it makes me feel ridiculous, but the shit overloads me with anxiety.

If it makes you feel slightly better, great whites are mostly just curious big cats when it comes to humans.
