FWIW - Orcas are dolphins and not whales. That's right, oracas are the largest member of the dolphin family, and all dolphins are fish.

This is a Dolphin fish. They are otherwise known as Mahi-Mahi and are serious good eats.
This is a Dolphin mammal.
This is an ex-Dolphin (left).

Whale experts worry about the effects of pollutants such as polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs...and fire-retardant polybrominated diphenyl ethers, which are still produced. "All those big boys," Balcomb-Bartok said. "Things that are insidious in the environment as a whole." At least they left out global warming and 'failed mid-east policies'.

"I thought whales were gay."
Only the sperm whales. The Navy fears them, because they eat seamen.

I know that "flipper" is really a mammal, I was just kidding. Now that we have mahi-mahi, only Miami Dolphins are "fish."

I'm sorry, it was me. I just can't resist the call of the Orca Burger.

Off the subject, but,... if you'll note the time and date, I've never seen a more bizarre Drudge Report than the one that is up right now.

FWIW - Orcas are dolphins and not whales. "Killer Dolphins"? Nah. Just doesn't have the same ring to it.
Just think of the movie: A bunch of "Killer Dolphins" gliding through the water toward a lone swimmer - with smiles on their faces.
