14 Shark Week-Themed Decor Ideas Because We Just Can't Get Enough Of The Freakish Creatures

The long-awaited phenomenon of Shark Week starts this week! And as the infamous 30 Rock quote goes, we should all "live every week like it's Shark Week."

In my opinion, sharks are living nightmares. Exhibit A: THEY NEVER SLEEP. I'm testy if I get fewer than 10 hours a night — I can't even imagine the dangerous mental state that would come from constant wakefulness. No wonder they bite people. That said, these creatures are impressive. There is a lot we can learn from them. Maybe if we too behave like sharks, we can get an entire week of TV dedicated to us! Here, 14 pieces of sharkspiration, in case a full seven days devoted to the creatures just isn't enough.
