- WordsnCollision, on 05/11/2009, -1/+52Never go full retardant.
- markintosh, on 05/11/2009, -0/+38"Scientists found unusually high levels of flame retardant in dolphins."
What's the usual level of flame retardant in dolphins? - idighealth, on 05/11/2009, -2/+34First thought: Super dolphins! After reading the article.... not funny anymore, really sad stuff.
- Axeman2063, on 05/11/2009, -1/+30kill it with fi----oh. *****.
- thisismydigg, on 05/11/2009, -3/+26oh god, they're evolving
- angusm, on 05/11/2009, -2/+22It's not all bad. On the bright side, those dolphins are now much less likely to catch fire.
- clickwir, on 05/11/2009, -1/+20High levels of flame retardant.... water? :-p
- protonone, on 05/11/2009, -0/+16How are we supposed to kill them if not with fire!
- MrInfallible, on 05/11/2009, -2/+16Kids I'm sorry there will be no dolphin at this years BBQ.
- chriskn, on 05/11/2009, -0/+1142.
- frieddonuts, on 05/11/2009, -0/+11none would be optimal.
- Amlethus, on 05/11/2009, -1/+11Genetically engineered fireproof dolphins?
- Tanktunker, on 05/11/2009, -1/+11OH GOD THEY'RE IMMUNE TO FIRE ***** IS GOING DOWN IRENE GET IN THE TRUCK
- BorsKaegel, on 05/11/2009, -0/+9Mercury... sweetest of the transition metals.
- badenglishihave, on 05/11/2009, -0/+8Clever girl
- codyjohnle, on 05/11/2009, -2/+9let's make dolphin suits for firemen. no?
- YorickBrown, on 05/11/2009, -0/+7They want to become immune to fire and heat so those friggin sharks with friggin laser beams on their friggin heads can't blow up the dolphins.
- clvngodess, on 05/11/2009, -5/+12WTF? All the better to make jammies out them??? Excuse my twisted humor. Sometimes I find what humans do to the environment and fellow inhabitants appalling.
- shauntacular, on 05/11/2009, -0/+6Whos job is it to actually test how much fire that they can withstand? I have to admit I want to be there when that happens.
- Phil13, on 05/11/2009, -0/+6Nuking from space is the only option now.
- Kronos6948, on 05/11/2009, -0/+6Nuke them from orbit.
- commenter01, on 05/11/2009, -1/+6First thought: Water is a fire retardant...
- solboldi, on 05/11/2009, -0/+5yeah...its gallows humor. humor is necessary to keep us all sane.
- gridbread, on 05/11/2009, -0/+5Sounds like a band name.
- hongkongjapie, on 05/11/2009, -0/+5Note to self: don't eat Miami dolphins
- Roboctopus, on 05/11/2009, -1/+6What concerns me is we've been using these chemicals--putting it on clothes, furniture, carpet, etc.--with absolutely no idea whether it is harmful or not. Sure, maybe I'm less likely to set myself on fire, but maybe I'm now much more likely to die of cancer or sire a race of mentally deficient, fire-proof babies. Corporations lack motivation or morals to test the safety and implications of the chemicals and substances they use, and they have our corrupt government in their pockets.
Oh well, I'm going to go eat some fireproof shrimp. - mastercosby, on 05/11/2009, -0/+5Laminarcissus, you are just wasting your time with those replies. He won't stop because sadly, I think hes serious.
- LeviTheSmith, on 05/11/2009, -0/+5Laminarcissus what you're doing won't stop syntaxgs from posting weird comments. I prefer his out of all the trolls on digg because he hardly ever insults anyone and the comments are funny
- KevenM, on 05/11/2009, -0/+4That's all nice and all, but can they shoot lasers from their mouths yet?
- RumpleForeskin3, on 05/11/2009, -1/+5I thought this was another steroid scandal...
Not my Dan Marino!! - MrInfallible, on 05/11/2009, -5/+9The Dolphins are preparing for war! They are going to burn our cities!
- solboldi, on 05/11/2009, -0/+4how about giving dolphins firemens pensions?
- KingGorilla, on 05/11/2009, -0/+3So we can't kill them with fire?
- pegothejerk, on 05/11/2009, -0/+3Let's teach them to hook themselves up to dialysis or whatever it takes. We can even hook up a coin-operated type initialization device so as to make a profit off of it. Soon we'll have them bringing us all the sunken gold, jewels, and pretty shells we'd ever want. I'm off to talk to Mercy Hospital venture capitalists about this idea.
- Tanktunker, on 05/11/2009, -0/+3It's the only way to be sure.
- samard2002, on 05/11/2009, -1/+4It may seem trivial, but once the dolphins make the flames retarded, the flames will think they can burn water. Then next thing you know, the whole ocean is on fire.
- couldbewrong, on 05/11/2009, -0/+3I'd just like to say that I am very offended by this article due to the insensitive language. It is ignorant to call these dolphins "flame retardant." It would be more appropriate to say that they are "combustible-challenged," or simply "special."
- iEATcatFOOD, on 05/11/2009, -0/+3Flame retardant because they will be soon launching into space and they need protection from rocket fuel. They are, infact, the second most intelligent species on earth, you know; which is why they'll be leaving. They know whats going to happen.
- Smegzor, on 05/11/2009, -0/+3Thats retarded.
- devophl, on 05/11/2009, -0/+3and we don't have to worry about spontaneous dolphin combustion!
- sab0tage, on 05/12/2009, -0/+2I read it wrong... I was wondering why dolphins needed to be fire retardent since they spend most of their time in water
- jeremymccurdy, on 05/11/2009, -0/+2So long and thanks for all the fish.
- iskin, on 05/11/2009, -0/+2Only the pink ones.
- solboldi, on 05/11/2009, -0/+2fire proof babies...lol.
- cherwilco, on 05/11/2009, -0/+2I would have to agree with WordsnCollision on this one, you see sean penn in I am Sam went full retardent and look where it got him! that's right he left the oscars empty handed!
- GOVATENT, on 05/11/2009, -0/+2South Florida, what don't we have
- RyeBrye, on 05/11/2009, -0/+2"“Pretty much everyone who has eaten seafood has flame retardant in them, but scientists don’t know how much would be too much before it turns harmful.”
Don't rob a sushi restaurant with a flamethrower. They wont be afraid. - Talphin, on 05/11/2009, -0/+2Hey now, wait a minute here... How are you so sure it isn't the inhabitants of the lost city of Atlantis who have poisoned them?... Hmmmm???
- InLovewithPeace, on 05/12/2009, -0/+2how did they consume the flame retardant and still manage to be alive? That is a miracle they have not gone extinct with all the chemicals they are exposed to.
- Scira, on 05/11/2009, -0/+2under 9000
