Dolphins & Teleportation Symposium

[Ladewig]

I wish that dolphins could teleport out of fishing nets. With all of their genius and ancient wisdom and super powers, they still can't stay away from tuna boats.

Maybe the good dolphins teleport the evil dolphins into the tuna nets. Did you ever think of that Mr. Skeptic?!

There isn't much water on Mars, or oxygen. If dolphins teleport there I'd have thought that they'd come straight back.

A dolphin can make you jealous

Nothing new here.
In the 1960s, John Lilly's assistant, Margaret Howe, lived with a dolphin named Jack for 6 months and reported jacking him off.

No disrespect to Ms. Howe but did she play Sydney in Alias?

Garner may have been guilty of dolphin abuse. Dolphins hereby have my permission to teleport with me when Ms Garner starts abusing them again. (I'm nothing if not a friend of Cetacean nation )

For a group of telepathic time travelers they sure do have an inclusive liability waiver for the adventure?

Uh? I would have thought inter-dimensional, future traveling, psychics that can teleport to mars would know in advance if someone was going to get hurt?

ETA: It seems joan ocean has decided that the only thing more fun than swimming with dolphins is making money while swimming with dolphins.

Maybe the waiver is because of what they know.

OH....MY......GOD!

I am nearly certain that you are misremembering this. There are several filmed scenes of adult orcas (killer whales) killing grey whale calves and specifically eating the tongue. Most notable is the scene in the BBC's Blue Planet series which is emotionally narrated by David Attenborough.

I challenge you to find any reference to any filmed scene showing an orca calf being killed by "dolphins" for its tongue.

In spite of this error your sarcasm still applies because orcas are dolphins.

Thank you for correcting me. I can't believe I misremembered it that badly. Guess I was just feeling overly snarky and thus forgot to check my facts.

Why are woo nutballs so fond of the word "paradigm"?!? The majority of them don't even know what it means. Even though they all use it, the word itself has no true woo connotations.

I was thinking that they use it because they think it makes them sound smart, but personally, once I hear the word "paradigm", I know that I don't need to listen to any of the words that follow it.

Hey. I know that a "paradigm" is twenty cents.
