- evilregis, on 08/28/2008, -3/+229I wonder why Phelps wasn't there to save the man... instead sending his minions. Nonetheless, all's well that ends well, I guess.
- nahsrocketeer75, on 08/27/2008, -1/+147Now that's a powerful story. Great read. ... Just wish the writer had bothered to have someone explain the actions of the dolphins. Do they patrol the shorelines doing this kind of thing all time?
- Foenetik, on 08/28/2008, -4/+131male dolphins have a prehensile penis. they can wrap it around objects, and carry them as such.
nuff said. - Tornado54, on 08/28/2008, -2/+120One more reason to help Hayden Panettiere save the Dolphins from poaching!
- inactive, on 08/28/2008, -3/+115I already knew that dolphins are bad ass.
- buckrogers1965, on 08/28/2008, -2/+98I wonder if there wouldn't be a lot more shark attacks on humans if there were no dolphins. In just a few of the shark attacks that happen every year there seems to be a high percentage of people protected by dolphins in those attacks. I wonder if the dolphins intercede for us unknown in many more instances, successfully warning away the shark from people before they can attack. Dolphins have also been known to save drowning people, as far back as ancient greeks there are stories of this.
And how do we reward their selfless behavior? By letting 26 humans slaughter and kidnap tens of thousands of dolphins every year, because they compete for fish against those few fishermen.
Disgusting.
We don't deserve to share a planet with so saintly a creature as the dolphin. - sn0t, on 08/28/2008, -4/+98This title should have been "More Proof that Sharks are Pussies"
- Zarokima, on 08/28/2008, -1/+75They also ejaculate with enough force to decapitate a human.
- flangepiece, on 08/28/2008, -1/+70Twelve scientists died in the search for this knowledge.
- JFallon126, on 08/28/2008, -1/+60My favorite dolphin story is the one where a woman was in a tank about to do a dolphin swim and after a minute of being in the water the dolphin forced its way through all the other people and started swimming a protective circle around the woman. The instructor turned to her and asked, "Ma'am...are you pregnant?" She answered she had found out she was about a week before. The dolphin guy explained that the dolphin was instinctively protecting the pregnant female (he could sense the hormones).
- shadeOfGrey, on 08/28/2008, -1/+59Maybe the dolphins were about to attack the surfer but the shark pulled him to safety with his teeth.
- zephyrnug, on 08/28/2008, -3/+59Pretty good article actually. Another cool thing about dolphins, they're one of the only animals to have sex for pleasure! Giggidy!
- mambanamba, on 08/28/2008, -1/+54really? id rather pay $650
- needslipo, on 08/28/2008, -7/+60six dolphins?!l
its the ANIMORPHS ***** - Klainmeister, on 08/28/2008, -0/+49I can carry doughnuts with mine, what's the big deal?
- Oztog, on 08/28/2008, -2/+48And thanks for all the fish.
- jehan60188, on 08/28/2008, -1/+46almost 30 were brutally maimed
- inactive, on 08/28/2008, -1/+46Only one survived, and he wrote a book about it.
- Murrabbit, on 08/28/2008, -4/+48What would have been even more unlikely is if a shark had saved him from a pod of dolphins.
- KingBroseph, on 08/28/2008, -4/+48Did we need more evidence?
- asdfasdfasdfasd, on 08/28/2008, -2/+42Dolphins Evolve Opposable Thumbs: 'Oh, *****,' Says Humanity
http://www.theonion.com/content/node/28315 - ohbugger, on 08/28/2008, -8/+47Is it true that dolphins are just gay sharks?
- Ryanx0r, on 08/28/2008, -1/+40I agree, it was a powerful read.. I enjoyed it and it was filled with enough suspense (and non-fictional information) to get me to keep reading. I've heard of dolphin's saving men from danger (mostly sharks) I'm wondering why Sharks are 'afraid' of them though.
On a side note, that crap the Japanese are doing to these dolphin's (there are a few videos floating around the net) is just disgusting.. how anyone can do such a thing is beyond me. Ok, most people will just say "oh, well.. it's just a fish like any other".. but you just can't help having a connection with these animals. - Majhem, on 08/28/2008, -0/+35Or worse, could have been an Ill-tempered, Mutated Sea Bass...
- bloominoctober, on 08/28/2008, -0/+34I'm afraid of sharks, but only in a water situation. Like if I see a shark on the sidewalk I'm like, "What? ***** you." It's the opposite of how I feel about lions.
- Nighthawke, on 08/28/2008, -0/+32Well the hormones perhaps, but their sonar is the highest resolution known to man. They can see scan a person with it and see inside them. There are known stories where people with previous injuries that have gotten into a tank, several dolphins have scanned the person, then nosed the location of the old injury.
One person had a tumor in his abdomen and several dolphins targeted the site. They were credited with saving his life. - inactive, on 08/28/2008, -12/+43Pretty much everything that Japanese people do is ***** up.
- MrApocalypse, on 08/28/2008, -0/+30Now THAT's bad ass.
- Gump9005, on 08/28/2008, -9/+37"A portable device that uses electrical pulses to repel sharks was developed in 2002 by an Australian company, but it's not cheap, costing about $650."
Paying $650 < Getting Filleted like a salmon - inactive, on 08/28/2008, -1/+25LOL, so after beating the crap out of a shark, they bring it to the surface to suffocate it to death. LOL Dolphin's own.
- o5rob5o, on 08/28/2008, -3/+27The Miami Dolphins are not bad ass.
- markus7353, on 08/28/2008, -5/+29***** you, two of my best friends were scientists in that study.
- inactive, on 08/28/2008, -0/+23That's why that didn't happen.
- EvilJelloMan, on 08/28/2008, -1/+24I can carry Lifesavers candies with mine... oh wait. What?
- qwertyuio, on 08/28/2008, -2/+25Actually you're stupid. Animorphs was epic.
- pcrepairshop, on 08/28/2008, -0/+22That's why the title begins with "More"
- guymandood, on 08/28/2008, -1/+22I want dolphinplasty. NOW
- BN2L, on 08/28/2008, -1/+21What a way to go.
- FallenTurtles, on 08/28/2008, -0/+19That dolphins are a myth.
- tarv2, on 08/28/2008, -1/+20DON'T LASE ME BRO!!
- sleepysteve, on 08/28/2008, -1/+20GOOD STORY! TELL ME AGAIN!
- dumass4u, on 08/28/2008, -1/+19The show was stupid, I'll give you that . . . but the books were rad as hell.
- JCPahl, on 08/28/2008, -0/+16God, aren't we all.
- JCPahl, on 08/28/2008, -0/+16They'd probably do a better job of it.
- monoa, on 08/28/2008, -4/+20Did a 14 year old girl write that flowery story?
- mushroomsrmagic, on 08/28/2008, -1/+17A pod of dolphins can kill a great white. A single orca can shred a great white.
- SreyaNotfilc, on 08/28/2008, -0/+15Is that photo...backwards?
- teh_spazz, on 08/28/2008, -0/+14That dolphins do indeed kick an incredible mount of ass.
- gordonrp, on 08/28/2008, -0/+14awesome video, full of sea creatures.. I see a couple of whales in that video too, not sure why they have snorkels tho.
