Abstract
Recently I've been reading a lot of books about sharks (and I know what you're thinking. Hey, I thought you were reading that quartet of books about the two Italian friends that starts in the 1950s where everyone is having affairs with everyone and you can't remember who is related because of the names are Elena and Lenu, and Pasquale, and Marcello, and Bruno? Well yes, I was reading those books, (but I finished them actually so tyvm) but before that I decided to read about sharks so that's the time period I'm talking about. Like late June into early July, not mid July, because that is when I read those sad Italian books. (Which by the way Shaurya I don't know if I should be offended that you told me to read these books since I am 1/2 Italian or honored that you think that highly of my literary prowess to appreciate not one but four slow methodical international books like those (I've decided I'm both offended and honored, tyvm)) So a lot of the facts that I remember may not even be true anymore since it's been a few weeks since I read those books and science moves fast. Something taught to me by the Neapolitan Quartet (seriously that's what it's called! no cap!) But I digress and just wanted to clarify my reading schedule from the past month and half so there was no confusion, so we can now return to the actual abstract for this UDLS) and I'm going to teach you about them!
