Dolphin married to British Jew dies

Cindy the dolphin gained fame after 41-year-old Jewish millionaire from London married him in 2005; 'Cindy swam slowly and he had problems eating,' reef employee says

Cindy the dolphin, the head of a pack of dolphins at the Eilat Reef, and father of all the dolphins born in the area, died Sunday and was buried at sea.

The dolphin's body was discovered Sunday morning by reef workers floating in its favorite place – the entrance of the diving and swimming instructors. Reef workers put Cindy's body in a boat and sailed into the sea, where they departed from it.

"We felt this was the end for three weeks," said Maya Zilber, who is a manager at the reef's training center. "Cindy swam slowly and he had problems eating. Sometimes he didn't eat at all. He vomited and did not look good," said Maya.

Cindy gained fame after marrying Sharon Tendler, a 41-year-old Jewish millionaire from London in December 2005. Tendler wore a white dress and placed flowers on her head.

Cindy, escorted by his fellow best-men dolphins, swam over to Tendler and she hugged him, whispered sweet nothings in his ear, and kissed him in front of the cheering crowd.

After the ceremony was sealed with some mackerels, Tendler was tossed into the water by her friends so that she could swim with her new husband.

"I'm the happiest girl on earth," the bride said as she chocked back tears of emotion. "I made a dream come true, and I am not a pervert," she stressed.

Cindy was the largest dolphin on the reef. He was over 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) and weighed over 250 kilograms (551 pounds). Despite his massive size, Zilber said that Cindy "still had battles with other males."

"But these are natural wars. If there would not have been wars between the males, we would be worried," she added.

Reef employees estimate that Cindy, short for Cinderella, was 40-years-old at the time of his death.

Ironically he wasn't "buried at sea" at all, but put on a boat and sailed out to sea - so "left to rot on a boat on the sea" might be more apropos, but yet quite unnatural for a dolphin.

Don't even want to know how they "consumated" the marriage.

You shouldn't judge. Perhaps he died doing what he loved.

Anyone check the whereabouts of "Charlie the Tuna"?

Sounds like "Cindy" was sexually confused.

IIRC a woman was killed about five years ago while trying to have sex with a male dolphin.

Sounds like a wet dream to me...

A Brief Musical Tribute
to

CINDY

Who's peekin' out from under the water
Calling out sounds that no one can hear
Wife bending down to give him a kiss now
Everyone knows it's Cindy

Who's tripping down the reef by the city
Smilin' at everybody he sees
Who's reachin' out with his "friendly finger"
Everyone knows it's Cindy

But Cindy has gone bye-bye
And Sharon is left to cry
Now Cindy's a big fish fry
Among the crowd (Among the crowd)
Among the crowd (Among the crowd)
.....

Wasnt there a man a while back who snuck into an aquarium a while back and swam with dolphins or litttle whales and there was a question about how he was killed? I think there was a flavor to the articles that he was trying to have sex with one of the animals.
