HAPPY NEWS! Dolphins found, IN THEIR POD!
Edited on Wed Sep-14-05 07:01 PM by Atman
All eight of the dolphins washed out to sea have been found in the gulf...all together in a pod! They didn't even hang together in the aquarium, apparently, but are sticking together now that they're in the open water.

Very cool story.

No, back to hating Bush.

4. Imagine how those poor dolphins feel
There's a great analogy here. They took the "richest" dolphins to safety and let the "poor" dolphins fend for themselves.

5. One of my favorite Bizarro cartoons:
Scientist at poolside to dolphin: "Your brains are even bigger than ours."

Dolphin: "Maybe that's why we don't consider imprisoning you and forcing you to do tricks "entertaining".

8. LOL
That reminds me of an episode of the "Simpsons" when the dolphines decide they've had enough and they're going to take over the earth and they once ruled the earth but humans pushed them out and at the end the humans were in the ocean.

9. KO showed video of handlers feeding them, training them to get on a float
that can be towed in after the bay waters clear out a bit. Olberman said Keep training them. Maybe they could run FEMA.

10. Woohoo! Just saw it on CNN. That's really a cool story.
The dolphins looked happy, but don't they always? I hope they get rescued from the gulf coast soon!

12. As a diver who was "befriended" by a wild dolphin once ..
... that warms my heart. We share this planet with creatures possibly more 'intelligent' than us.
