Yes! Dolphins and Whales have hair all over their body! Cuz they are Mammals! Jeez!

You know, the rest of your post may have been the funniest/deepest/most profound insight ever submitted to these boards, but I’ll never know because I can’t get past:

And believe me, picking porpoise hair out of your teeth after is no picnic.

Ahhh the visualizations on these boards often verge on the sacred and profane!

I wonder if a similar thing was taught to a young Jessica Simpson.

You did that on porpoise!

You shoulda seen her boyfriend.

He was covered in mussels.

You could see the anchor in his eyes.

Ok…thanks lieu - you set off a cacophany of people who have nothing better to do with their time, and you did it on porpoise. :smack:

I am laughing so hard.
I was almost going to change it to speeches or something else, but ti was an oral, and I thought that people on the SDMB would be a bit more mature than I am and not find it dirty at all :wink:
Apparently I was wrong. The SDMB is just as dirty as me.

He Manta do it, too! :mad: :wink: :smiley:

Hey! I resemble that remark!

That’s irrelephant!

Quoth …Fire Engine:

To be pedantic, anenomes are plants. But sea anenomes, which are a completely different creature, are animals (albeit very simple animals).

Abalone!

I hadn’t been planning to post in this thread, but now I think I will.

Just for the halibut.

As the fisherman said to the priest. :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley:

I was appalled by a teacher who told the class that the closest planet to Earth was the moon.

Several years later I got into an argument with my future ex, who says that the moon is a planet. I say it’s a moon.

So, what’s the real deal?

Well, the closest heavenly body to Earth is indeed the Moon. I can forgive your teacher on that one.

Is the Moon a planet? Well, that seems to vex a few people. I have read in books of lay science and in periodicals like Sky & Telescope, that if the Earth/Moon system were found anywhere else, it might, I repeat might, be classified as a double planet system.

However, since we did NOT find the Moon that way, it remains our satellite, the closest heavenly body to the Earth. True, it is an abnormaly large satellite for such a small planet, but it is still, and always will be, our Moon.

Does that help confuse thing any more?

And also here. The Dolphin hotel at Walt Disney World uses the dolphin fish as its logo, incorporating gigantic statues of the things at either end of the building. Much to the chagrin of parents and passersby who have to hear every other child (and frequently adult) ask why there are statues of fish on the hotel when it’s called the Dolphin. Maybe it’s a case of theme park architecture being used in the fight against ignorance?
