submitter: manatees

Unlikely. Manatees are one of two marine mammals that have gone full retard.

/the other being the North Atlantic Right Whale, iirc

Not particularly useful against Japanese, though.

I agree completely. I recently had to sit through a series of lame manatee variety acts, consisting of unfunny stand up routines, botched attempts at juggling, and awkward magic tricks. Each of these acts was so bad that the performer had to be chased off the stage by incessant loud noises.

I believe it was called the Dugong Show.

You are making me groan on porpoise, aren't you? That seals it. If I ever sea lions, I'm feeding you to them.

Someone should make a movie about this. With Georges C. Scott.

Now if they could recruit those giant jellyfish....

FTFA:

"Sea lions are especially suited to this work because of their strength and agility..."


But I'll bet that a manatee can't save New Jersey from the Republicans.

OH THE HUGE MANATE...nevermind.

Sigh, since it's going to be said sooner or later in this thread: FARK YOU DORPHIN!

You wish to fark dolphins? I'd point you to an earlier thread but i'm sure you know which one.

If any farkers out there are in the Overseas military (U.S.), then you will have known about this for years. They play this commercial on AFN (Armed Forces Network) television at least 10 times a day on each channel.

Because using dolphins et al, for sonar are so 1970's.

Yeah. I've been stationed in Japan for almost ten years now, and I have yet to see this "enhanced" security.

In the future it is likely we will see the combination of animals with technology so for example: mosquito with a tiny camera for surveilance, a small bird with explosives and neural transmitters to control its direction (guided missle).

I see no way that killer whales with tools can go badly.

Yeah, and when the sailors are off-duty, they can go clubbing on base.

The dolphins and such are quite open-minded, and are cool with being cuckolded by their best friends.

So, why exactly is the word "shiat" censored on this site again?

To keep its PG-13 rating obviously.

Get serious and jump right along to Dynamite Monkeys. Just don't taunt them.

Too bad piranha are a fresh water fish, they'd be awesome.
