I don't watch him that much. That was funny though. |
Infamous Scribbler Posts: 628 Joined: 26 Jul 2008 |
Yeah I am usually the same, some of his stuff is just not that funny, but he can be quite hilarious at times. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 4376 Joined: 8 Nov 2008 |
Yeah. I think he's funnier when he's either high or just had sex. I haven't decided which it is yet, though. |

Oh yea I just remembered an Episode of the Simpsons, one of the Tree House of Horrors, the Dolphins took over. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1117 Joined: 14 Aug 2008   | This sounds like that episode of the Simpsons where Lisa helps the dolphins, only for them to turn around and force everyone in the town into the lake. |

Genesis is one of the books in the Bible. It contains the creation story. He's saying that you're a creationist. |

Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 900 Joined: 7 Jun 2009 | I wouldn't call this a tool they figured out how to work a sponge to there advantage, now if the fashioned a net out of the sponge then i would considered it a tool. This is very interesting but i wouldn't insult evolution by comparing this to it IMHO, of course i have a feeling i am about to be proven wrong. |

That's what I was gonna say. |
Muckraker  Posts: 275 Joined: 12 Jun 2008   | This is why I'm all for saving Dolphins, they are actually smart, not like whales, they are dumbasses. Yes I know that whales and dolphins are in the same family, but dolhpins are small enough where they can actually acomplish stuff, whales are just swiming piles of tastey, tastey blubber. mmm mmm mmm mmmmmm blubber |

Congratulations, old bean. You have single-handedly debunked and disproven the theory of Evolution with one interweb forum post. I can already see the Zombie Darwin bursting from the ground and retracting Origin of the Species overthis. You've proven to us that Evolution couldn't possibly be real, we must have all been created in the image of God Almighty, while He was going Full Retard. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 91 Joined: 27 Jun 2009 | Soon when the dolphin's knowledge allows them to become widespread I'll be legitimately able to say, "I'm riding on a dolphin! Doing flips 'n' shit!" All I need is a boat though... Also I wonder what would happen if we give them suits that allow them to go on land. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3394 Joined: 9 Jul 2008  | Great, now they're going to hijack all the nuclear submarines and hold the world hostage and rule the world. Unless we kill them all first... |

Muckraker  Posts: 243 Joined: 28 May 2008  | Dolphins really aren't that intelligent. Their tool use is on par with a human infant. Their brain may be physically larger, but this is held back by numerous factors: - The average dolphin is considerably larger than a human. Larger body size = more brain power dedicated to locomotion and less to other things. - The dolphin's brain has thicker insulation, which is needed for ocean survival yet has no function for brain activity, when this is removed, the dolphin's brain is actually smaller than the human brain (when the insulation is removed from the human brain as well) - The dolphin's brain has a smaller surface area than a human's, which is the primary function of intelligence. This is due to fewer "wrinkles" as well as the smaller volume. The effect of having to dedicate more brain function to locomotion with a smaller brain makes the dolphin objectively less capable intellectually than humans. Yes, they're bright creatures, yet not some kind of super-animal. The human has the highest cognitive function of any animal species on the planet and even our least intelligent members are more capable than the upper echelon the dolphin intelligence. That and tool use has been known for a very long time among the Australian bottlenose community, making me wonder why the article was written in 2009. |

...And just when I was certain the box jellyfish were the scariest things in my god damn water. Great, now even if I flee from the funnelwebs in my boat, the dolphins will cut me down as I run. I don't know what to be afraid of, the ones with eight legs or the ones with none... or the ones with flippers... The latter doesn't make your eyes bleed, but that's not to say they can't invent a way to do it. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 80 Joined: 16 Apr 2009 | I don't belive they're evolving. Adapting maybe. But if they did we should be friendly untill they attack us. Then, we crush them. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3316 Joined: 7 Aug 2008  | I think we can all know agree, the crisis has been averted. And even if we can't just remember, we have thumbs and have equipment to go under water, they have fins and can't move on ground. |
Paperboy  Posts: 35 Joined: 7 Jul 2009 | When they invent language, learn it, and raise their culture drastically until they feel indebted to us. Then every nation on the planet will take bets as to who can make them their close allies first. About a month after this, betting can begin on which Nation's dolphin allies will nuke the other nation's Dolphin Allies. Soon there will be no more people wars. We will fight with dolphins. |

The ability to learn, however, is something not every creature starts with. They have gained it, changed over time. Know what the word for that is? Personally, this is fantastic news. If ever we needed an excuse to defend these creatures more, this is it.
