• This story is palpable bullshit. While I know that such trained dolphins exist and have done since at least the late '60s, it seems highly unlikely they were carrying loaded weaponry while in keeper pens. Smells like some kind of disinformation spykid media bumf to keep the hoople heads from reading about Sheehan.
• Ha ha! We're so fucked!
• It's a good job the mice didn't escape.
• Especially those couple of mice that were at Nimh, together with the rats.
• We find, however, that Sheridan has made sport of gullible reporters in the past. In 2003, he was confident that he and a team of divers he advised had located the site where English aviator Amy Johnson died, after her plane went into the sea off Kent in 1941. The Guardian carried that item too. Not surprisingly, there has been little news about Johnson's plane since the announcement. He also appears to have been confident, back in 1998, that a group of US Navy killer dolphins had come to grief off the French Mediterranean coast when they got loose and their handlers detonated a "radio-controlled explosion of their signal collars, so that no one could find out their missions." (Find out their missions?)
• *obligitory comment about sharks with frickin' laser beams*
• OK, it does sounds like BS -especially in light of Chyren's point about being armed. I'm surprised at the Guardian and I thought, until reading SMT's link, that they had higher journalistic standards.
• I want to believe.
• You fools! Those dolphins were obviously spies, lulling our military into collusion and familiarizing themselves with our precious technology. Now they have returned to their briny brethren to spread their vital knowledge. The war will no doubt soon commence! Watch for disappearances amongst the tuna boats.
• This could mean killer penguins too..
• Someone at the Pentagon's been reading Burning Chrome again!
• Obviously a job for fish tick and Squidranch. To the Monkeymobile!
• They'd get into a fracas with some weasels.
• Poo-flinging monkeys are among us.
• Jacqueline Bisset was totally hot in this movie.
• My God, yes, Squidranch! Quick, call the homestead. Get those squid herds moving! We'll push those grey traitors right down to Anarctica and crush them against the penguin reserves. Our bird-brained allies are so grateful for their percentages on that documentary that they're practically ready to commit seppuku for us. Fishtick, man the trenches and watch for strays, then feast on their fishy fluids.
• Someone at the Pentagon's been reading Burning Chrome again! BS. They can't read.
• Fa loves Pa
• LOL. I hope they shoot someone.
• The theological and cetaceanical implications are staggering. Especially staggering if hit by some of those toxic darts.
• Obviously a job for fish tick and Squidranch. To the Monkeymobile! Sorry- my unitard's at the cleaners after an incident at First and Broadway.
• Fa wants Bi. (I conflated Day of the Dolphin with The Deep, in which Jacqueline Bisset was teh hawt.)
• They'd get into a fracas with some weasels. Did someone call my name? Also.
• Anyone remember the bizarre pilot whale attack that happened a while back in Hawaii? Pilot whales pretty much never attack people - except that one time. I remember there was some random internet speculation at the time, because a pilot whale had recently gone missing from a nearby naval base. Also, it's a big day for deep-sea news! Two Japanese biologists have finally managed to get a 26-foot giant squid caught on film. (nytimes, reg req, you know the drill.)
• Bow to the power of my deep sea bretheren (and sisteren)!!! Now, who wants some hawt tentacle porn lovin'? You know you do ladies...
• Well, let's pick up some David Brin: poet dolphins, intelligent monkeys, and later on, gorillas. See monkeys, we are living in an alternate universe.
• *applauds the poet dolphins*
• Dolphin guides stranded whales out to sea.
