Really old idea.  Do you remember this movie?

default · Answer

This is the government - they say sharks but they mean dolphins. It is politically incorrect to blow up dolphins. The project they abandoned in the 60's is back on track.

Once they detonate . . . who's going to try to figure out which species it is?

They got into all sorts of PR trouble when they were using dolphins, but who cares about sharks?Cheers,Phil Hobbs

People think "Poor Flipper" and "Die Jaws die!....."

Also. Sharks are stupid fish. Dolphins are mammals like us..

There are reports sharks are getting overfished. Even the Great White shark.

By the way.. Dolphins are food in Japan.

No animal is safe...

It's only a matter of time till McDonalds tries out the McFlipper :P

Indeed -- Lassie and Mr. Biggglesworth are food in plenty of places too!

I think McDonalds has the patent on the "BeefMaster" cow... Evidently, they wanted to pack as much hamburger on it as was bovinely possible.

That could be an urban myth, however. (But there is such as thing as a BeefMaster.) Some corn-fed Iowa engineer will likely straighten it out for us...

I suspect the product name "Mc Mako", just didn't do as well in initial testing. :(
