- evilregis, on 08/28/2008, -4/+231I 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/+149Now 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/+132male 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/+116I already knew that dolphins are bad ass.
- buckrogers1965, on 08/28/2008, -2/+102I 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. - Zarokima, on 08/28/2008, -1/+77They also ejaculate with enough force to decapitate a human.
- flangepiece, on 08/28/2008, -1/+71Twelve scientists died in the search for this knowledge.
- JFallon126, on 08/28/2008, -1/+62My 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/+60Pretty good article actually. Another cool thing about dolphins, they're one of the only animals to have sex for pleasure! Giggidy!
- needslipo, on 08/28/2008, -7/+61six dolphins?!l
its the ANIMORPHS ***** - inactive, on 08/28/2008, -1/+54really? id rather pay $650
- Klainmeister, on 08/28/2008, -0/+50I can carry doughnuts with mine, what's the big deal?
- Oztog, on 08/28/2008, -2/+50And thanks for all the fish.
- inactive, on 08/28/2008, -1/+47Only one survived, and he wrote a book about it.
- jehan60188, on 08/28/2008, -1/+47almost 30 were brutally maimed
- Murrabbit, on 08/28/2008, -4/+49What 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 - 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. - ohbugger, on 08/28/2008, -9/+47Is it true that dolphins are just gay sharks?
- Majhem, on 08/28/2008, -0/+35Or worse, could have been an Ill-tempered, Mutated Sea Bass...
- bloominoctober, on 08/28/2008, -0/+35I'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/+33Well 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 - markus7353, on 08/28/2008, -5/+30***** you, two of my best friends were scientists in that study.
- 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, -4/+28The Miami Dolphins are not bad ass.
- inactive, on 08/28/2008, -0/+23That's why that didn't happen.
- qwertyuio, on 08/28/2008, -2/+25Actually you're stupid. Animorphs was epic.
- EvilJelloMan, on 08/28/2008, -1/+24I can carry Lifesavers candies with mine... oh wait. What?
- pcrepairshop, on 08/28/2008, -0/+22That's why the title begins with "More"
- FallenTurtles, on 08/28/2008, -0/+21That dolphins are a myth.

- BN2L, on 08/28/2008, -1/+21What a way to go.
- tarv2, on 08/28/2008, -1/+20DON'T LASE ME BRO!!
- dumass4u, on 08/28/2008, -1/+19The show was stupid, I'll give you that . . . but the books were rad as hell.
- mushroomsrmagic, on 08/28/2008, -1/+17A pod of dolphins can kill a great white. A single orca can shred a great white.
- JCPahl, on 08/28/2008, -0/+16God, aren't we all.
- monoa, on 08/28/2008, -4/+20Did a 14 year old girl write that flowery story?
- JCPahl, on 08/28/2008, -0/+16They'd probably do a better job of it.
- SreyaNotfilc, on 08/28/2008, -0/+15Is that photo...backwards?
- teh_spazz, on 08/28/2008, -0/+15That dolphins do indeed kick an incredible mount of ass.
- wunksta, on 08/28/2008, -0/+14for all our "achievements" we are an incredibly unhappy species
dolphins just swim around and play all day long. seems like one of us got it wrong. -
