As anyone who has seen all the Treehouse of Horror episodes knows, freedom for dolphins means decreased freedom for humans.
And we now know that the dolphin plan to dominate the land is anything but dormant:
Dolphin with possible hind leg remnants discovered.
Be afraid, be very afraid, for no one can hear you scream - in a place where high-pitched squeals and chitters drown you out.
As long as we have the sharks with frickin’ laser beams on their heads we’ll be safe. But if the batteries run down …
I, for one…ah screw it, bring on Flipper!
First the [1920’s-style death] manta rays start killing people, and now the dolphins are preparing an invasion force. Folks, we can no longer hide from the truth: we are under attack from the ocean, and it is clear that Aquaman has declared war on humanity. We’re outnumbered, and they already control 71 percent of the surface of the planet. If we want to survive, we’re going to have to hunker down and fight hard. We need to win the hearts and minds of the amphibians, and then go after all the sea creatures. If we wait too long, they’ll sic Godzilla on us!
