Dolphin Sex!?

[Anonymous Coward]

Holy Zoophilia!

Ok. I consider myself a somewhat open minded person but that was just down
right gross. Oddly it was just like a train wreck, I didn't want to keep
reading but I couldn't pull my eyes away. It just got more and more
disturbing and foul.

I agree with him on the intelligence and emotional state of dolphins and
other cetaceans but intra species mating and the thought of 'masturbating'
or performance of fellatio or cunnilingus upon a dolphin just goes a bit far
round the twist.

Although I did get a slight chuckle and head shake out of a few things.

First, the fact that the penis is prehensile and can be used to pick up and
carry things. I would love to have a prehensile penis that was between 12-14
inches. Think of all the things you could do. Like hold a piece of wood
steady while sawing it, or carrying all the grocery bags into the house at
the same time, or being able to open a door when your hands are full...

Second, that one should watch out when receiving vaginal(but he is not a
woman and thus is not sure that a woman wouldn't be able to take this) or
anal intercourse due to the fact that the male is from 12 to 14 inches long
very muscular and can shoot up to 14 feet. The danger here being that one
could get severe internal injuries that would be a bit hard to explain to
the ER doc. Gosh, no shit? I can see that conversation: "You see Doc, I was
blowing my dolphin partner and he got so into it he accidentally broke my
nose. He really is a good dolphin Doc! He didn't mean to do it! Really! He
doesn't have a mean bone in his body! It just sort of happened and he felt
really bad about it afterwards! Please don't report him for domestic abuse!"

Third, that one needs to be careful having one's face in the general area of
the genitalia or when performing fellation or cunnilingus on said animal as
in the case of a female dolphin a possible broken nose can occur and in the
case of a male a possible broken neck from the pelvic thrusts or severe
damage to the throat and/or face due to the velocity and force of
ejaculation. But that if one really wanted to do this just make sure that
the male ejaculates under water.

Cut to the Coroner's report on cause of death to the police: Fracture of the
C2 spine due to a mistimed vigorous pelvic thrust by victim's cetacean sex
partner while victim was engaged in oral copulation with aforementioned
cetacean. Death ruled accidental. Recommend that no criminal charges be
brought against the victim for being such a sick fuck as victim is deceased.

Or how about the poor doctor who has to tell the family: "Mrs. Jones, I am
very sorry for your loss. You see, your son's bottle nosed dolphin lover...
yes, yes I did say bottle nosed dolphin....yes, just like flipper...
accidentally blew a hole the size of a small casaba melon in his colon when
he ejaculated inside your son during anal intercourse... Yes, yes I did say
anal intercourse with a dolphin... Yes your son was the 'catcher' and the
Dolphin was the 'Pitcher" Mr. Jones... I can't say Mrs. Jones, I have no
idea what made him do that... Best not to focus right now on what you did
wrong raising him Mrs. Jones... No Mr. Jones it isn't for me to judge if
your son was a freak or not..."

Forth, he gives specific directions on how to stimulate and find a
'partner'. Including that one should really stay away from places like a
marine life aquarium as it is too public a place, the dolphin is not in his
or her natural habitat, and that people may object but it is possible if one
can sneak in at night.

Super. I can see it now "Mommy, why is that daddy in the fish tank playing
with the dolphin's birdie? You told me I would go blind and grow hair on my
hands if I did that! Will the dolphin go blind and grow hair?"

Fifth, that he curren

Actually thats assuming that you can turn on as many service as is available on Mandrake on Gentoo , its not the case there not available.

Also , if you dont know how to setup a system , thats why its going to be slow to boot , on any system.

As for the Gentoo speed bulshit its already been proven to be just that bulshit.

Re:Gnu/Linux

You or your system have a problem adding sic everywhere.

Actually , in reality and factually Mandrake as the largest collection of software , Gentoo dont have 200 000 commercial software only available on Red Hat compatible systems for starter. Unless they got added in the last night and many hundred thousand people forget to told me.

The thing wich is true is that on Mandrake the default is not written in stone tablets , you can have a default wich as no service started by default , Gento dont offer any default or choice of default , and I will also add that you show how knowledgeable you aren't by answering a question speaking of number of service ( wich Mandrake as more of and some service wich are not availaible on any other system , certainly not Gentoo) by saying Gentoo as more software.

You got a citation from an expert on the subjects , me , the speed myth and the Gentoo bulshits. Gentoo as no draw what so ever , a draw is something wich would be unavailble on Mandrake , Gentoo possess none whatsoever, and flags are available on all GNU/Linux syatems , you would know this if you where qualified to speak on the subject.
