Bizarro World

Just when it seems as though shit can't get much weirder in the world, there's this:

It may be the oddest tale to emerge from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Armed dolphins, trained by the US military to shoot terrorists and pinpoint spies underwater, may be missing in the Gulf of Mexico.

Killer Dolphins! Good god almighty.

Credit to my friend Nick for having the greatest quote about this: "It seems like a lot of Sikhs taking scuba diving lessons could really get hurt."

And of course this all begs the question, how exactly do you train a Dolphin to distinguish between a terrorist and say, a bearded hippie? It also makes you wonder what other kinds of animals they've got in the military. Feed a monkey some plutonium and the shit he/she throws becomes a WMD.

Guess Austin Powers and the whole "sharks with lasers" thing wasn't too far off.
