You may have missed one of the most interesting stories to emerge from Hurricane Katrina. It turns out that armed dolphins, trained by the US military to shoot terrorists and pinpoint spies underwater, have gone missing in the Gulf of Mexico. No, really.
Up to 36 of them carrying what are described as “toxic dart guns” have done a bunk and are now presumably swimming around on the lookout for passing divers and surfers to kill.
Only in America.
Certainly brings a new meaning to the concept of Dolphin watching....just imagine:
"Hey Marge, there's one... over there off the port bow....wow... what's that on his back... looks like a gun... I sure didn't know the NRA was recruitin' dolphins now.... geez looks like he's aimin' at us... y'all better duck now"
BANG
"ooh Marge I don't feel so good... think this dart in my arm is poisonous?... I feel a little sick y'now"
"No honey, that'll be the triple chocolate muffin and pancakes with extra maple syrup and bacon you had at breakfast"
