Folks,
Only Brin fans would grasp the true nature of the following story from the
Guardian:

"Armed and dangerous - Flipper the firing dolphin let loose by Katrina"
It may be the oddest tale to emerge from the aftermath of
Hurricane Katrina. Armed dolphins, trained by the US military to
shoot terrorists and pinpoint spies underwater, may be missing
in the Gulf of Mexico.
Experts who have studied the US navy's cetacean training
exercises claim the 36 mammals could be carrying 'toxic dart'
guns. Divers and surfers risk attack, they claim, from a species
considered to be among the planet's smartest. The US navy admits
it has been training dolphins for military purposes, but has
refused to confirm that any are missing.
