Sharks Make Love to Justin

We've all trotted out the phrase "jumping the shark" when discussing the careers of artists who've passed their expiration dates, but thanks to a group of German scientists, we've added "humping the shark" to our musical lexicon. Researchers at Sea Life centers around the land of bratwurst have been looking for ways to put some romance into the lives of captive sharks, and have found that certain tunes -- particularly those emitted by Justin Timberlake -- seem to bring sexy back to the aquarium in a big way.

The aqua-men piped various tunes into tanks holding a variety of sharks and found that after Timberlake's music was played, the creatures spawned an unusually large number of eggs. Britney Spears, on the other hand, proved to be the salt-water equivalent of saltpeter, driving the sharks farther apart. Oddly, the Germans didn't even give a shot to the ever-smooth strains of Einsturzende Neubauten, which has always put us in the mood.

I guess his album title "Future Love/Sex Sounds" really makes sense now, hahaha.
