MARATHON, Fla. -- When rescuers started counting a large group of stranded dolphins in the Florida Keys this morning, they couldn't believe how many there were. So far, the count stands at 96.

The local electronic media is going apes--t over this story...praising the herculean efforts by a group of people who just want the animals to live. Meanwhile, a Florida woman faces starvation and the media thinks it is no big deal.

Cookout on the beach.

Most likely the lead dolphin was sick or weak, and beached himself to avoid drowning. Too bad dolphins can't talk, or he could have warned the pod, "I'm just off for a pack of cigarettes. You all go on without me."

Give the dolphins to WeemsCo. tuna and be done with it.

Has anyone consulted George Costanza? He's a marine biologist, you know.

Give each Dolphin a feeding tube then sometime in the future just arbitrarily decide to remove them.

I got stranded in Lodi, California a couple of months ago. Since there is no "Land mammal" rescue I called AAA.

Maybe Terri Schiavo's husband will take her corpse down to the beach and let the sharks have it.

Different animals. Mahi mahi is the dolphin fish. Unrelated to the bottle nose dolphins in question here.

But the recipes look good.

I think the local media is also talking about the upcoming baseball season like it's a big deal. How come you're not drawing that comparison.

There are plenty of Terri threads for you to voice your opinions, do you really feel the need to do on a thread about DOLPHINS?
