I bet a dolphin would've said "chatting".

lindseyp		2004-07-05 07:16:57 AM

Wow.. a dolphin submitted this?

G_Fish		2004-07-05 07:56:26 AM

Fair enough, but no Dolphin Sex...

Miles_OToole		2004-07-05 08:15:06 AM

No dolphin sex? Damn....spoil my plans, why don't you?

Smed		2004-07-05 10:07:50 AM

I can already translate what a dolphin is trying to say. Doing a double backflip through a hoop = "So long and thanks for all the fish."

Jabber		2004-07-05 10:22:54 AM

Bravo, Smed. That was beautiful.

Smed		2004-07-05 10:36:24 AM

Thank you Jabber. Adams is fantastic.

Ninja_Pancakes		2004-07-05 10:55:38 AM

Smed, you made me cry, cheers.

DandamanFL		2004-07-05 12:16:14 PM

I heard a dolphin, right after I saw a turtle.

mad8vskillz		2004-07-05 12:28:55 PM

you to will soon be spel and gramar beter then a mongolien emigrint.

joestinkpants		2004-07-05 12:29:08 PM

All your dolphin bases will soon be belong to us....

socratez		2004-07-05 12:29:10 PM

do dolphins have better grammar than the submitter?

JereIC		2004-07-05 12:30:37 PM

Hopefully, the dolphins will be better than most people you find in chat rooms. I'm not sure how often I could read "teh fish iz teh rox!!!1111" before I'd start up a dolphin meat factory. Tuna-safe, naturally.

And tip o' the hat to Smed.

ClothedSexualTouching		2004-07-05 12:32:02 PM

Poor dolphin is gonna be plagued by furries wanting to cyber.

blucas24		2004-07-05 12:32:24 PM

chenry		2004-07-05 12:32:32 PM

what would the dolphin say?
human: Hi!
dolphin: eee eee eeee eeeee! eeheh eee heehe eeeee!
h: do you like fish
d: eeeeeeee eee ee!
h: wow, this is boring

A.K.A.		2004-07-05 12:36:01 PM

These aren't just any dolphins. They're Irish dolphins!

Dorf11		2004-07-05 12:38:06 PM

We were talking about your fish, not me.

ThunderPants		2004-07-05 12:40:31 PM

Dolphins have better grammer.

Blindstealer		2004-07-05 12:41:22 PM

I'd like to take this opportunity to say: why can't I find the pictures in the SbB teaser on their page?

svejker_14		2004-07-05 12:41:27 PM

chenry

But they can do those clicks and stuff. It's even been said that they can imitate the human voice.

/now watch this back flip double somersalt

blucas24		2004-07-05 12:42:50 PM

Dolphin's are irish?

Mocker		2004-07-05 12:43:02 PM

Irish dolphins? Ooooo! Irish accents are so cute!

Chibisuke		2004-07-05 12:43:18 PM

Bah. It's just a web audio stream, one way, from an underwater microphone.

LAME!

TheProtong		2004-07-05 12:44:43 PM

Hm...

Dolphins help lawyers search through documents

homestarrunner		2004-07-05 12:45:28 PM

labman		2004-07-05 01:04:08 PM

Why do it online when you can do it in person?

Chokaro		2004-07-05 01:04:43 PM

Apparently dolphins can change headlines...

Sinister Steve		2004-07-05 01:10:28 PM

If dolphins are so smart, why to they keep getting caught in those nets??

deklund		2004-07-05 01:11:52 PM

All Fark headline submitters have perfect grammar, and that mistake you thought you saw...

*snap*

...was never there.

chenry		2004-07-05 01:22:51 PM

svejker_14

oh yeah.

now do a triple backflip with a half gainer

/no clue what that means

dreammuffin		2004-07-05 01:24:16 PM

Slightly disappointed with article. I was hoping they might have REALLY trained dolphins to surf the net by now:(

ratboy		2004-07-05 01:29:40 PM

...and then I'll slide its throbbing girth into your blow-hole...

deniro15		2004-07-05 01:30:13 PM

I can have sex with them AND chat with them a long distance away? Is there anything they can't do?

/draws the line at internet dolphin sex videofeeds.

crackpot		2004-07-05 01:56:31 PM

Pfft... dolphins are just gay mini-whales. Who needs 'em.

enemigo_de_pepe		2004-07-05 02:00:11 PM

Just so long as they have not yet developed opposable thumbs, our species can still take them. Stay on your guard though. They are tricky little buggers.

WizardX		2004-07-05 02:04:17 PM

So when does the uplift begin?

Armacham		2004-07-05 02:10:10 PM

Captain Creideiki is way ahead of you, WizardX...

KkrrRRZZZZ		2004-07-05 02:11:30 PM

Would make the flame wars really different.
RWDolphin:"Kerry is a swordfish!!!"
LWDolphin:"Bush smokes kelp!!!"
/got nothin.

J00 R T3H 5uXX0rZ!!! LOL!!!!!11]

Yeah, like the internet needs more of that.

WizardX		2004-07-05 02:14:56 PM

Yay! Someone gets the less-obvious ref. :-)

And doubleplus points if you spelled that without looking it up. *grin*

Although I sort of liked it in Simmons' "Hyperion" where it's revealed that while we CAN talk to dolphins, our two "peoples" are so alien to each other no actual dialogue can be established.

Red Space Dragon		2004-07-05 02:38:57 PM

"Why do you need to see the dolphin? Do you know him? Does he call you at home!?... To train the dolphin, you must think like the dolphin. You must be getting inside the dolphin's head! I say to Snowflake, 'Agie agie, agie', and he answers 'agie agie'"

...

What? It wasn't THAT bad of a movie! He's done worst.
