4. Now here's a pic that is genuine.....I've seen it being sold by the
guy who took it, at the local fairs......

Dolphins apparently love to surf...I think this one was taken off Santa Barbara......

I have a copy of it around here somewhere.......





:loveya: :hug:

5. Great photo
That reminds me of mornings at Rehoboth Beach in DE. My friend and I had a beachfront hotel room, and in the early mornings before people began cluttering up the beach the dolphins would swim fairly close to the shore in groups as in the picture. If I'd had my digicam back then I would have taken photos, but unfortunately I didn't.

12. I think it is a dolphin...
The dorsal fin looks right and the tail looks to be flukes.

16. Yup, its a dolphin.
That photo was taken here in FL. And has been debated endlessly by the surfers here, in the area.
Either way, dolphin or shark, I'm sure that surfer has some warm liquid running through his wetsuit.

22. My son and I were bodysurfing when a dolphin snuck up on us.
Those critters are big and especially scary when the first thing you see is their dorsal fin popping up suddenly just a few feet away from you!

As we watched the dolphins move away from us, it was very obvious they were playing a game, surfing a little bit, and startling people between waves.

11. Maybe I was dreaming...but does anyone else
remember when they had a memorial service for the 7 challenger astronauts, they dropped a wreath from a helicopter into the waters near the launch site.....and a few dolphins jumped out of the water right after the wreath was dropped!!! was I dreaming this or did you see it as well?

23. I've always liked this one...
Edited on Fri Nov-18-05 12:25 PM by anarch
I'm not sure exactly how this works, but it is amazingly accurate. The attached photo has 2 almost identical dolphins in it. It was used in a case study on stress level at St. Mary's Hospital. Look at both dolphins jumping out of the water. The dolphins are identical. A closely monitored, scientific study of a group revealed that in spite of the fact that the dolphins are identical; a person under stress would find differences in the pair of dolphins. If there are multiple differences found between the two dolphins, it means that the person is experiencing a great amount of stress. Look at the photograph and if you find more than one or two differences, you may want to take a vacation.























(yes, I know you've all seen it before, but it's still funny.)

edited to correct grammar, and add: awesome photo in the original post, KW!
