You know Dave, that was uncalled for. I haven't done anything to you or called you stupid, so calm the fuck down why don't you:turd:

Shark, dolphin, I don't care. It's a cool f'ing picture.

What's your degree in? Where did you get it, the University of Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?

The fins are not at all like a shark's. It's a dolphin. Those who were there said it's a dolphin. Here's a picture of the same animal and - look! - it's a dolphin. "I'm still not convinced." That's because mental midgets like you never are.

You truly are a grade A, number one, honest to God, genuine ASSHOLE, go fuck yourself:finger:

... as people that pick on mentally retarded persons generally are considered...

And you're proud of that...go figure:whofart:

Don't blame me. That's the picture they used with the article about the increase in close to shore shark sightings, in CA. It was right after the woman(?) swimming with the seals or sea lions got chewed up.
Why is the dolphin's tail vertical in the first picture?

I'm the one that mentally retarded people pick on. I think they smell my fear and uncertainty (up until the time that I got attacked by the psychotic guy who broke my hand, the only clients I had problems with were MRs. I don't have a lot of expertise with MRs, and as a consequence don't interpret their behavioral signals quickly enough and got hit a couple of times. Luckily they tend to be somewhat uncoordinated and move slowly enough that I've been able to block the attacks).

This is a picture of a dolphin. The fluke/tail is laying flat. Sharks tails are vertical. The really ironic thing is that there are great whites swimming that close to surfers in these areas, and they never know it. The sharks are not in any way interested in them; they prey on seals, and it's astronomically rare they make a mistake.

The animal in the pic posted in this thread appears to have a vertical tail fin to me. I would agree that fatalities from shark attacks are very rare, but not shark bites. While shark bites are somewhat rare I wouldn't say they are astronomically rare.

is that what i smell???? thought maybe it was a turkey and cranberry cheese sandwich.

It looks like the fin is placed farther back on the body, and it's kind of whale-shaped rather than torpedo-like. The tail would rake back at a shallower angle if it were vertical like a shark. Plus I see a beak on it.

I was the kid who was watching PBS when other kids were watching cartoons; that's a dolphin.

Fucking nerd. *punches Ury*

You smell like poo!

Oh, wait. Wait a minute. I think I see something everyone has missed...
