Shark Cats - Neatorama

The great question is clear: should I get a filter feeding shark cat, such as a basking tabby, because it's safe, or should I get a more hazardous shark, such as a great white calico, because it would be cool?

Brynn Metheney, an artist in Oakland, California, drew 12 shark cats for a shark cat-themed monthly calendar. You can see the other shark cats in that calendar here.

Frankenstein's Monster did have a name. Victor dubbed him "Adam" , though he was never actually addressed by that name.

I'm a Romanian. I don't mind talking about Dracula. B(r)am!

Regarding the pronunciation, you got it halfway correct: the 'ei' in the commonly used 'Frankenstein' is correct, and the 'Fronk-un' is correct. Add a 'sh' to that, and you'll get the proper German phonetics of 'Fronk-un-shtein'. Didn't know he was named 'Adam', Monica. Well done.

@Barking_Bud- Frankenstein is my favorite novel of all time (I've probably read it 50 times), so it wasn't that hard for me to know that little tidbit. ;) In the novel, after Victor sees what he's created, he abandons the name 'Adam' in his writings and refers to him only as the abomination, the creature, the monster, etc.

@Monica - The first half of my post was meant for the generic article reader and Miss C, it wasn't meant to be smart-allecky towards you :). And after that I just wanted to thank you for your contribution.

Actually, I assumed Miss C was making a joking allusion to Gene Wilder's character Fredrick Frankenstein in "Young Frankenstein," who insisted on that pronunciation in the beginning of the movie to divorce himself from his grandfather's reputation.

Sorry to have misinterpreted then :p But hey, it's the Internet after all: German phonetics are awesome, all Frankenstein movies kick ass, and now 56% of us will probably watch a cute kitty video LOL

Sidenote: I am not German myself.
