Here is the artical.

This is wild. I thought I only had to worry about sharks.

How do you feel about using animals to kill humans?

How is it different from using anything else to kill humans?

To the dolphins killing people would be no different from shooting at targets, how can they understand the concept of murder? And as to putting them in harms way; remember that when free they are always in harms way. They may seem like cuddly creatures, dolphins, but they can be vicious to each other.

Should have put this one in humor. hehe!

Thats awesome.... dolphins with guns.

And, even if true that they trained some dolphins in this way.... the idea that they keep them armed all the time is ridiculous.

This is just about the funniest snafu I can recall and you wonder why they believe conspiracy theories so ferverantly.

"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History

"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini

What about sharks with fricken lazers on their heads?

This is the best military creativity since WWII, when they tied little incindiary bombs to bats, then froze the bats so they would stay still during the journey, flew to Tokyo and released the bats in the hopes that they'd land in the largely wood and paper buildings and cause fires. Instead, most of the bats plumetted to the earth and no fires started.
