That abbreviation sounds familiar.

There's no way that's an accident.

I can't see the publishing date, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is an April Fools' joke from a couple of years ago.

Got to love propaganda machines "corps of communist killer dolphins".

Was thinking the same. How do they know that they really are communists? Did they teach them to shout "death to capitalist pigs"? :)

Jokes aside and looking at it from other perspective, perhaps they all really are communists? As in the ideal, written-in-books, case - sharing resources equally, being equal to each other?

</philosophy-moment>

just being egalitarian isn't communist. small scale human society is quite equal, as i understand it. that kind of equality in a global society would be communism.

so, do we know dolphins aren't organized in one mass global society of equals? can any dolphin be trusted?

Trust but verify, as they used to say around here pre-1989.

You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads!

It's pretty impressive for North Korea to put this as one of their military repertoires.

For a truck of sardines they could turn into valuable doublefin agents.
