    I thought this was a pretty cool nature video about a very smart pod of dolphins.

    That is awesome -- I wonder how long it took them to figure out that little maneuver ?

    Sometimes I think dolphins are just screwing with us and have their own massive civilization we just haven't discovered yet.

    That one dolphin at the end with the flying catch...I wonder how he/she'd look in an Astro's jersey swimming in left field?

    Is the title from "Hitch Hiker's guide to the Galaxy?"

    I recall hearing that song in a movie, just don't remember what it was from....something goofy IIRC.

    As for the video, that's awesome.

    It reminds me of a video I saw of Dolphins purposely beaching themselves forcing the fish onto the shore...grabbing them...then waddling back into the water.

    Yep. That's the first thing I thought of when I saw that video.

    I love dolphins. It sickened me seeing such a beautiful and intelligent mammal like them being slaughtered for food.

    Would you expect the same sympathy from a dolphin if he ate man?

    NO!

    Also, this is what happens when a dolphin and a man mate.

    The tuna industry took care of that problem.

    I can't hear Attenborough's voice now without thinking of the "I Hate Nature" series. So funny.
