...Fish don't swim well out of water!



Dolphins aren't fish.


Yes, it has been tried. If you remove a fish from water and bury him in
stones, he can't breathe and he can't move. Likewise, dropping him in a
vat of aged whiskey really tends to kill the fish and reduce his
swimming ability. So, we tried Vodka and under these diverse situations
the fish continued to swim badly or immediately die.

One anonymous researcher said, "Their failure is a great disappointment
to all of us who were told that we swim or drink like fishes".

The same source has articles such as:

Bush Acquired By Martian Zoo
Botanists Making Great Strides In Stem Research etc., etc.

This is supposed to be FUNNY and is probably poking fun at the notion that Dolphins are actually extremely smart animals, adding credence to the view that other animals exist that have "evolved" to be almost as intelligent as humans.


Yes, it's always funnier when someone explains the joke. Thanks, Nicklearse.

cheers,

Nicklearse? Let me guess, 7th grade?
Oh, and by the way, I didn't explain the joke, I merely pointed out that it is, in *fact*, a joke.

"The reason the theory of evolution is so controversial is that it is the main scientific prop for scientific naturalism. Students first learn that "evolution is a fact," and then they gradually learn more and more about what that "fact" means. It means that all living things are the product of mindless material forces such as chemical laws, natural selection, and random variation. So God is totally out of the picture, and humans (like everything else) are the accidental product of a purposeless universe. Do you wonder why a lot of people suspect that these claims go far beyond the available evidence?" Phillip E.Johnson, The Church Of Darwin
