One of the funniest Far Side had the scientists with a chalkboard next to a dolphin tank saying “they keep making those funny sounds” with a list on the board:
Bwenos Dee-as
Kommo Ess-tas
Kwal Es Nu Nom-bray
Hilarious!

I’ve tried sign language with the dolphins but their flippers just can’t handle it.

I’m reminded of the “Far Side” cartoon where the scientists succeeds in building a machine to translate a dog’s barks...

Great! Now we will have dolphins telling us that, “Timmy’s in the well!”

I don’t see anything really new in this device, but he’s got a cute wife researching with him, so points for the pic.

The entire evidence that dolphins are so intelligent is that their cerebrums have a very high surface area. There is a correlation between cerebral surface area and intelligence. So far, the only animal found capable of abstract language (i.e., the use of adjectives or hyptheticals) is not a dolphin or an ape, but a parrot. The animal with the most evolved reasoning skills is a dog.

Said the spokesdolphin: "Hey! HEY! Gimme a fish! Hey! Hey! Gimme a fish! Hey! Hey! Gimme a.....What was that noise?"
"Hey! Hey! What was that noise? Hey! Hey! What...."
And so on. They're animals, for Pete's sake. Are these idiots expecting to debate philosophy with them?

South Park also had something similar happen with killer whales during one episode. At the end, we see a dead killer whale on the moon.

These researchers are so silly. Look the noise makes a pattern on the water!
Reminds me of The Voyage Home where Spock points out (paraphrasing) that you can’t speak “whale” by just stringing a bunch of whale song sounds together, it won’t have any meaning.
