• So long and thanks for nothing, monkey fuckers.
• This world becomes more & more intolerable.
• Currently editing a report on IRBM in China. Shades of too little, too late, but no sense in given up either, despite the ongoing horror of it all.
• Apparently, the guy who made this report was out there trying to get some to build a sustainable population in an ox-bow lake. But couldn't find any. He sounded really sad on R4 this morning.
• Jeez. Sorry, guys.
• Heard it too, kit. Really sad. What was the last large vertebrate to become extinct (over 50 years ago)? Passenger Pigeon?
• Wasn't it that Tasmanian whatzit? Sorry, big guy.
• Extinct in the 1950's: Japanese Sea Lion, Caribbean Monk Seal What is it with the water creatures?
• They live in our sewers.
• Sad, but true, Rocket.
• It's the damned dams again, no pun intended. Makes me sick.
• And the almighty dollar, of course.
• Well I think this is great news. Everyone is always whining about the inscrutible Chinese and how they don't respect the same funamental values that we in the West-North-West do. But now they're taking a leaf out of our book and killing off indigenous megafauna as efficiently as possible - just like how we extincted the unicorn. And remember how all you assholes we're always bitching about unicorn??? "Waah waah waah unicorn stole my virgins - unicorn fought my lion - unicorn joined our game of leapfrog and now I got a boo-boo." You hypocrits make me sick.
• Are you kidding? I'm so confused. Aren't the Chinese communists?
• In Communist China, the dolphins extinct you!
• Because they're dried and ground into a aphrodisiac of some kind. And once ground-dolphin makes its way into the blood stream -- whammo! -- instant heart attack. FACT.
• But in the instant before you die, you attain superintelligence and an intense craving for fish.
• Wait a minute... Who else here wants sushi??
• Not funny. .
• Laughter in the face of disaster is what makes us human. That and killing off all the cool animals.
• Where have all the dolphins gone? (Long time passing) saltwater version
• It seems I am two weeks late in informing Sir Fisto that this thread should have been eeked. Ai! Still sad...
• STFU!
• I assumed this post was some sort of necromantic ritual to bring the dolphins back to life (assuming they haven't simply left the Earth while they still could). Incantations need to be repeated three times, don't they? Quick, someone post a triple before the remaining dolphins get mad at us.
• Why, you little... *grabs kit by the throat and tickles his giblets*
• They might not be all dead.
• Huzzah! *makes rude gestures behind smt*
• Excellent news, though even if it turns out to be a true Baiji, conditions are not favorable... *tosses a sea cucumber at kit*
• Wang Ding.
• Bangladesh's majestic dolphins at risk. WARNING: features photo of dried, salted dolphin.
• You almost scared me off, Capt. - I thought the dolphin had been dried and salted for snack porpoises.
• Extremely Rare Dolphins Found by the Thousands: Nearly 6,000 Irawaddy freshwater dolphins were discovered in areas near the Bay of Bengal and the Sundarbans mangrove forests in Bangladesh.
• Heh, they're not just snubfin, they're snub-everything. Bless their blunt little noses....
• They're very cute, and I'm glad they're numbers are higher than originally thought. Unfortunately, other dolphins look down their noses at them.
• We’ve discovered a new species of dolphin, and it’s probably already endangered
• Well, that makes a damn depressing end to the day. Makes me wonder what else we're never going to know we've destroyed.
• New species of river dolphin born of Amazon rapids
