Wow, that was cool. I wonder why dolphin and whales beach themselves.
Forget about the danger and think of the fun.

Fracking is probably responsible. I would be surprised if fracking hadn't taken place within 5000 miles of these beaching incidents.

You know what was really interesting is that they would pump with their tails until some one started dragging them backwards, then they would relax
and let themselves be dragged back. It seemed like they knew they were being helped.
I yam what I yam and that\'s all what I yam.

Don't need to be Japanese for that, a tuna sandwich just doesn't taste the same since Star-Kist went "dolphin free"

On shore leave in Honolulu I used to order Mahi Mahi (dolfinfish). It was years before I learned that it was really a fish and not Flipper.
