Dolphins also have been known to with hold food from the females until she gives it up.

//Oh, and obligatory HGTG reference, so long and thanks for all the fish.

Yea but will that wingman fall on a whale if it's deemed necessary?

Well, you got to pick your flight lead carefully if you're a wingman. If he's not scoping enough quality bogies, it's time to get another lead or split off and go after Viper yourself.

WTF is that ". . .so long and thanks for all the fish" meme?

MBA Whore: WTF is that ". . .so long and thanks for all the fish" meme?

... not sure if serious...

It is an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was the most intelligent species occupying the planet, instead of the third most intelligent which was, in fact, entirely accurate.

The second most intelligent creatures were, of course, dolphins who curiously enough had long known of the impending destruction of the planet Earth. They had made many attempts to alert mankind to the danger, but most of their communications were misinterpreted as amusing attempts to punch footballs or whistle for tidbits, so they eventually decided they would leave Earth by their own means.

The last ever dolphin message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double-backward somersault through a hoop while whistling the "Star-Spangled Banner" but in fact the message was this... "So long and thanks for all the fish."

By "forming alliances" are they referring to the gangs of dolphins known to commit gang rape?

If dolphins were humans they'd be frat boys.

The finding that male dolphins share mating opportunities with their alliance partners and will risk increasing their partners' reproductive success at a potential cost to themselves, indicates that dolphin relationships are based on a high level of mutual tolerance and cooperation.

Subby must have a different definition of "wingman" than I know.

Real useful story, Subby. Where the heck am I supposed to get a dolphin, and how do I take it to the bar on Friday night?

They also engage in homosexual acts, which strongly suggests that dolphins are indeed the frat boys of the animal kingdom.

I did a study for one of my classes at college about game theory and deduced that several men plying lots of frosh girls with alcohol was more effective than one chivalrous fella with wingmen predating on one female. We had an equation and everything. I'd explain in more detail, but all I can recall regarding it is a slapping sound.

That sounds more like economy of scale than it does game theory.

go to wikipidia and type in "frot" to read about dolphins gay sex. Apparently some jackass complained that his eyes were offended to the mods, and the direct link I posted to the wikipedia article was mod smacked yesterday.
