'Cause they know it won't do them any good underwater.  Apparently they're smarter than you.  :p

if I saw a dolphin invent fire, I would plug him too as that is unnatural. Besides he was coming right at me

Once dolphins figure out how to hold weapons, we're screwed.

nice swoop, subtle wit.


dolphins can scan us and see if we are sick with thinngs like cancer and broken bones.  they do it to they prey to get the choice cuts.



having been in the sea with multiple dolphins, a very lucky experience, i would certainly say they are as smart, or smarter than us.  you wont make them happy grabbing their dorsals fins though i was told by a haggard old sea dwelling woman who showed us the dolhps.

well i swam with dolphins quite a few times, and i can tell you they are ****ing smart. its almost like they can read your thoughts, and tell what mood you're in. humans are naturally inventive, thats our nature. just because dolphins aren't so innovative dont mean they aren't smart. and bat, when you swim with dolphins, if you hold onto the dorsal fin only, their tails will break your bones, they're very strong. if you want to hitch ride, you put left hand on pectoral fin, and right hand on dorsal, so you are off to the side

If a cat always lands on its feet and buttered bread always lands butter side down, what would happen if you tied buttered bread on top of a cat?

You would get an excellent sammich if you put another piece of buttered bread on its belly?

I guess your right on that part. You don't see them with nucular weapons do you.

I like dolphins, especially grilled.
