Armed Dolphins Released Into Gulf of Mexico
An anonymous reader writes "The Guardian is reporting on what may be the weirdest Hurricane Katrina story yet. Military trained dolphins may have been released into the wild by the Hurricane's devastation." From the article: "Experts who have studied the U.S. navy's cetacean training exercises claim the 36 mammals could be carrying 'toxic dart' guns. Divers and surfers risk attack, they claim, from a species considered to be among the planet's smartest. The U.S. navy admits it has been training dolphins for military purposes, but has refused to confirm that any are missing. Dolphins have been trained in attack-and-kill missions since the Cold War. The U.S. Atlantic bottlenose dolphins have apparently been taught to shoot terrorists attacking military vessels. Their coastal compound was breached during the storm, sweeping them out to sea. But those who have studied the controversial use of dolphins in the U.S. defence programme claim it is vital they are caught quickly."
Nothing for you to see here. Please move along.
The more Slashdot posts articles with such poor premise, especially the these pseudo-science tin-hat articles, the less I read Slashdot.
their one achille's heel...
dolphin-safe tuna!
Didn't see that one coming...
And, yes, I'm just mad that you beat me to it ;)
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
The U.S. Atlantic bottlenose dolphins have apparently been taught to shoot terrorists attacking military vessels.
Ahem. . . isn't a key part of the definition of the term "terrorist" that they attack civilian targets?
Or have we officially redefined the term to include anyone who attacks an American anything under any circumstances, ever?
They are there to protect the fnords
"Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts."
No, those would be sharks, not dolphins.
How ya like dat?
Last night was halloween, as I'm sure you celebrated -- I went as a french maid. 4.5" platform stilletto heels, red fishnets, the werks. I scared alot of people. especially with the fake bolld capsules. Anyway -- as for last nights dancing (& trying not to break my ankles in the process) the fresh anus piercing held up unusually well. If you have ever examined that area of your body, youve noticed the "fleshyness" of the skin about the 'pucker'. It was extremely easy & painless to pierce. No blood- or very little at that. And honestly no real discomfort. The absolute most difficult stage in the process is placing the jewelry (ESPECIALLY IF YOURE DOING IT YOURSELF.!!!)
//{(*)}\\
I have actually tried this particular area of the body for piercing before, about 3 years ago. It worked, but eventually wanted to grow out. This time, its got a good 3/4" asshole-skin to get through. I apologize for the graphic nature of my diction. Today, prior to its morning cleaning- consisting of Dial anti-bacterial liquid soap, a shower, etc- i noticed I wasnt able to see [and/or find]the top of the barbell ball. Aye de Mi! The holes were both still there, fresh and stretched to about a 14ga, just enough 'inhale' the barbell ends. I decided the barbell was a wee bit too short in length, and replaced it with a 5/8 14ga SScurved barbell. Sitting is even more pleasurable than before. It is a surprisingly protected area of the body. Not much gets to it.
So you get the picture. Lets say youre on your knees, ass in the air. the top of the anal opening is where I placed my jewelry:
Initially, it was easyenough to use a 14ga needle with a 16ga 1/2" BB in the back of the needle, as trying to insert jewelry in that type of extreemly fleshy skin is & can be, literally, a pain in the ass. So i used the needle for both the piercing & an insertion tube. Mushy butt-flesh IS hard to manage. The Vertical nature of the piercing is just fine. I was concerned that bathroom issure might present a problem. But excrement from your own body is initially sterile, however funky. Pooing has not presented a problem. Wiping has become the tricky part. Some advice- wipe gently, almost dabbing where possible. Im not into scat, and think crap is rather nasty. Im also not one to judge, so I keep my ass as clean as possible. Especially in recent times. So far, the only noticible aftereffect, is that the skin between eentry & exit points has had some swelling, nothing like inflation, but definately noticible. It has become an eye-catching, interestingly pierced "butt-nub". And I adore it. I am planning to get a disposible camera or something in the very near future so I can send up some pictures, in about 2-3 weeks. They will be sent though. I have decided that the final jewelry for this piercing will be an L-bar of 14-12 ga.
One last thing: I did not pierce through the sphincter muscle itself- only the skins which cover & protect it- the butt-nub area. To find out exactly what a butt-nub is, get a porno with chicks who have had ALOT of anal experience. They say a butt-nub is the first step to "trunk-butt". We will see. In anycase, mine's pierced. Of all the piercings Ive had & have, the anus piercing oozes a bit differently that the rest. Above all, keep keep the jewelrey clean. If it gets krusty, it will most likely lead to an infection. Anus piercing infections smell noticibly worse than others. for the obvious reasons.
Other than that, I cant say much more. Coughing & Sneezing, though, have taken on a whole new perspective...:)
I will be sure to let you know how all goes. And dont forget the picures! they're comming.

But are they ill-tempered?
?
I think we shouldn't be moderating anyone funny until they fix the very broken moderation system...
