Is that a tabloid? Either the Aussie newspaper or the Israeli one it's quoting? Because it reeks of tabloid fodder. Especially the hastilly added "and I'm not a pervert".

Yedioth Ahronoth claims to be "Israel's most comprehensive authoritative source for real-time news and Hebrew content on the web." I don't read Hebrew, so I can't make a call on whether that's true or not.

ETF capitalisation.
Ah, thanks for clearing that up. I guess I am trying to hold on to one last shred of hope for there still being some sanity somewhere in this world. The whole story still seems fishy to me, though.
Pun so totally not intended. (Especially since we all know dolphins are mammals.)

This reminds me of the late, great dolphinsex.org (note: link now replaced by a list of shemale porn, so NSFW)...

I'm still waiting for someone to marry a corporation. Corporations are already a step ahead of dolphins, being "persons in the eyes of the law" and all.

Haven't certain politicians already done that? Or maybe it just seems that way...

Well, no wonder the dolphin is so mixed up...apparently a male dolphin named "Cindy." I'd be confused, too.
Oh, wait. I am confused.
I did kind of blink at the headline in the article Em linked though: Brit Jew Marries Dolphin. Because, you know, if it had been a French Catholic, that would be completely different.

The site appears to be a Jewish/Hebrew newspaper (perhaps an English mirror of a Hebrew news site, or a general Jewish community one), so I think the "Brit Jew" part was to establish what the hell the article is doing on that site in the first place. That, or something involving Jews reading it and getting a big head thinking none of them would do something that crazy. (Note: I'm Jewish myself, before anyone comments. Well, in the process of converting.)

I'm also waiting for this to be a joke (oh please, oh please, oh please), but I love this quote
quote:"I made a dream come true. And I am not a pervert."
I'm considering changing my sigline
