  • angusm, on 03/24/2009, -1/+17We armed Ho Chi Minh to fight the Japanese, and we got the Viet Cong. We armed the Afghan mujahedin to fight the Russians, and we got the Taliban and Al-Qaeda. Now we're arming dolphins ... am I the only one who can see where this is going?
  • jonesyno, on 03/24/2009, -0/+15So long, and thanks for all the fish*

  • inactive, on 03/24/2009, -1/+10Arabian Gulf? No such body of water exists, it's called the Persian Gulf.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_Gulf

    "Historically and commonly known as the Persian Gulf, this body of water is sometimes controversially referred to as the Arabian Gulf by certain Arab countries or simply The Gulf, although ~~neither~~ of the latter two terms is recognized internationally."
  • xCIone, on 04/15/2009, -3/+12Dolphins could be useful on military just like a K9 dogs.
  • crazymaster16, on 03/23/2009, -5/+14Dolphins are amazing creatures!
  • RUBallsingMe, on 03/24/2009, -2/+11omg...is that....A ***** LASER?!
  • SmpleJohn, on 03/24/2009, -0/+8It's too bad we've suppressed them to the seas centuries ago forcing them to leave the land they loved. But mark my word, they will return to the land to once again rule over all and force us back to the harsh waters we came from...
  • alieneggsac, on 03/24/2009, -0/+8These dolphins have frikin' lasers on their heads.

  • pkiani, on 03/24/2009, -0/+7Only if I knew where the Arabian Gulf was...

    "The Persian Gulf, in the Southwest Asian region, is an extension of the Indian Ocean located between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula.[1] Historically and commonly known as the Persian Gulf, this body of water is sometimes controversially referred to as the Arabian Gulf by certain Arab countries or simply The Gulf, although neither of the latter two terms is recognized internationally."

  • nmezib, on 03/24/2009, -0/+6yeah.. i thought they were just training for shows, but military dolphins = pile of pure win!

    I could imagine them jumping out of the water at cocaine smugglers, "Surprise! pew pew!!"

  • JAVandiver, on 03/24/2009, -1/+5And this was an amazing photograph... SIX YEARS AGO!

    It is from March 25, 2003.

    "K-Dog, a Bottlenose dolphin, leaps out of the water in front of Sgt. Andrew Garrett while training near the USS Gunston Hall in the Arabian Gulf in March of 2003."

  • inactive, on 03/24/2009, -0/+4I was going to say the same thing. I'm a proud Arab and even I say Persian Gulf.

    Saying "Arabian Gulf" is just historically ignorant (and people who say that are usually ethnic chauvinists).

    Pretty awesome picture, though.
  • jadi19, on 03/24/2009, -1/+5by Arabian Gulf, do you mean Persian Gulf ? have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_Gulf
  • AriKant, on 03/24/2009, -0/+3The actual answer is, "If you've read a book or looked at a map in the past 5000 years, it's the Persian Gulf. However, if you are an uneducated nationalistic douchebag arab, then it's the arabian gulf."
  • danj484, on 03/24/2009, -0/+3Third: humans?

  • farzaam, on 03/24/2009, -0/+3By Googlin' both names and i found over 6.5 million results for "Persian Gulf" and less than 800,000 for that fake name. The contents of results are really considerable.
  • FriniK, on 03/24/2009, -0/+3they must have figured every creature deserves a warm meal
