  • DeviantDragon, on 01/31/2009, -2/+67So long and thanks for all the fish...even though we prepared it better ourselves.
  • purplesawdust, on 01/30/2009, -1/+56I wonder when dolphins will colonize mars.
  • zyklon, on 01/31/2009, -1/+38Those dolphins sure are clever!

    Maybe a little TOO clever...
  • d2002, on 01/30/2009, -0/+34I think they are martians colonizing earth.
  • inactive, on 01/31/2009, -0/+24and they have sex for fun
  • Statopspin, on 01/31/2009, -4/+27The Time has come people! We must take up arms against the dolphin menace. Quickly now, before it is to late. For many years they have watched, silently waiting for their chance to strike. Well I say we strike first, while we still have the upper hand. And by upper hand I mean hands. Who is with me? TO GLORY!
  • RunDiggMC, on 01/31/2009, -2/+23Very cool. Another case for dolphins being among the smartest animals on Earth.
  • ganymede2010, on 01/31/2009, -0/+18I love Dolphins:)
  • Amnon, on 01/31/2009, -0/+16"A wild female Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin was observed..."
    So even in Dolphin society it's the wife-dolphin who cook?
  • zyklon, on 01/31/2009, -0/+15And they are warning us, through elaborate song and dance, that the world is going to end.
  • Ne007, on 01/31/2009, -4/+18Humans aren't as unique as they think.
  • darylspong, on 01/31/2009, -1/+14I, for one, welcome our new dolphin chef overlords.
  • Fib0112, on 01/31/2009, -0/+13Not sure who dug you down and why. That person apparently hasn't heard about the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy.
  • inactive, on 01/31/2009, -2/+13Yo dawg I concur. I was in ma yacht chilling with my Kanye West music all loud and all in the pacific with my gals bro and outta nowhere a big ass dolphin came to the surface and was looking at me like >:( and I was like O.o and it was like making strange noises and few other came to the surface dawg I was pretty scared by now cuz they were all now making strange noises knawesayin? Then a big ***** whale appeared and suddenly hit my yacht with it's face it broke a few things here and there and I realized I was in a bad neighborhood and left. That or they were just plain racist, knawemean?
  • Statopspin, on 01/31/2009, -0/+11I have no idea what you just said. However if you are against the dolphin, then you may join our ranks.
  • j4ck80, on 01/31/2009, -1/+12I think the real story here is that dolphins have found a way to remove bone from an invertebrate.
  • grungegbunny, on 01/31/2009, -1/+11Dolphins are next in line to be on Hell's Kitchen and Top Chef.
  • DoogieHowitzer, on 01/31/2009, -0/+10They're magic tricks are cooler than Penn's I think.... making rings of bubbles is cooler than any card trick in my book:

  • hazard99, on 01/31/2009, -1/+11No... we are still pretty goddamn unique. We just underestimated other species.
  • portnoy, on 01/31/2009, -0/+9It's only a matter of time before they begin performing incredible magic tricks. I think that's why Penn is angry.
  • inactive, on 01/31/2009, -0/+9You've clearly never worked in a restaurant. :P

  • honeybrass, on 01/31/2009, -0/+8If they start making weapons we are so *****.
  • audreysee, on 01/31/2009, -1/+9Gee! Dolphins are like the humans of the sea?
  • CanceledCzech, on 01/31/2009, -0/+8We should put more efforts into learning the intricacies of their communication. Like, learn their language.
  • Vectorkov, on 01/31/2009, -1/+8They don't have to worry about the economy, their ***** job, religion, and all the other ***** we do. I'll trade the relative boredom for that.
  • kinkyfunk77, on 01/31/2009, -1/+8ooooooh those dolphins i thought it was the ones from miami
  • mreade, on 01/30/2009, -3/+10That's pucka!
  • edebolt, on 01/31/2009, -0/+7don't they have to worry about ***** like no food, killer whales, great white sharks, floating trash and the lack of any "Flipper" movies for 30 years?
  • runep, on 01/31/2009, -2/+9Please, it was a Simpsons Halloween episode, not Futurama ;-)
  • inactive, on 01/31/2009, -2/+9So next time you just happen to hand a Dolphin a ham, cheese and tomato sandwich and it looks at you kinda blank, you know its asking for extra mayo. You are just not able to hear it.
  • GiggleStick, on 01/31/2009, -0/+6Actually the Dolphins do have a pretty elaborate religion. It's just that they carry out their ceremonies at great depth so that we can't see what they are up to.
  • PixelMagic, on 01/31/2009, -0/+6Clever girl. Oh wait, that's raptors.
  • withoutamartyr, on 01/31/2009, -4/+10This all furthers my theory that eventually the dolphins will overthrow land creatures and begin life anew as the ruling sentient species.

    I learned it from SimEarth.
  • inactive, on 01/31/2009, -5/+11I prepare dolphins like food.
  • Paranor01, on 01/31/2009, -0/+6But just before the end happens... there is a message from the dolphins to human-kind...

    ...

    "so long, and thanks for all the fish."
  • satchthegreat, on 01/31/2009, -1/+6beating a squid until its bones and ink fall out are not exactly 'preparing food like chef'
  • edebolt, on 01/31/2009, -1/+6what else are they going to do? Being a dolphin has to be pretty boring. It's not like they have Apple Laptops, PSP's or monkey porn.
  • jgubbe, on 01/31/2009, -0/+5I observed an ant dissecting a fly.
  • inactive, on 01/31/2009, -0/+5That we are going to end. Then they will take over! That's why they are always smiling at you.
  • nomadofthewaves, on 01/31/2009, -0/+5FTA:

    A separate 2005 study provided the first sign dolphins may be capable of group learning and using tools, with a mother seen teaching her daughters to break off sea sponges and wear them as protection while scouring the seafloor in Western Australia.

    Do they scrutanize mates of their sponge worthiness?

  • binarybyron, on 01/31/2009, -0/+5Penn is a dumbass, they're not fish they're mammals
  • wollsmosh, on 01/31/2009, -3/+8as 'they' think? who taught the dolpins to use the internet?
  • joyfuldesigns, on 01/31/2009, -1/+6That is truly amazing. That would be incredible to witness. I couldn't even clean a shuttle fish like that, much less a dolphin with no hands.
  • CoD4, on 01/31/2009, -0/+4dun dun dun!!!
  • Paranor01, on 01/31/2009, -0/+4Don't Panic
  • dlan4327, on 01/31/2009, -0/+4Well that settles it. Clearly they are the 2nd smartest creatures on Earth.

    Right behind the mice. If Douglas Adams was right I believe we place a distant 3rd.
  • jessenoob, on 01/31/2009, -0/+3They ARE magic tricks?! Amazing!
  • inquebiss, on 01/31/2009, -0/+3Please don't compare the joke that is Hell's Kitchen to Top Chef
  • inactive, on 02/01/2009, -0/+3I, for one, welcome our new dolphin overlords.
  • coliolio, on 01/31/2009, -0/+3We are making a huge mistake by inviting them into our military!

    The navy needs to open their eyes! These dolphins aren't helping us, they're STUDYING US.
