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.

"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.

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.

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).

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