Royston Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 I realise biomedical ethics is quite a serious topic, but I found this today...I particularly like the line 'I'm not a pervert' http://www.underwatertimes.com/news.php?article_id=81091306425 Eilat, Israel (December 29, 2005 ) Till death do us part? An unusual wedding ceremony was held in the southern resort town of Eilat on Wednesday, as Sharon Tendler, a 41-years-old Jewish millionaire from London married her beloved Cindy, a 35-years-old dolphin, Israel's leading newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported Thursday.
zyncod Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Well, they said it was going to happen when the anti-sodomy laws were repealed....
Illuminati Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Would this be considered as bestiality? Hmm, this certainly is a strange one.
AzurePhoenix Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 This is all well and good, but how'll she react when he cheats on her? And will the dolphin have to pay alimony after the divorce?
silkworm Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 DAMN IT! Now it's going to look lame when I do it. Now, don't you have to "do it" in order for a marriage to be legal? I'd like a video of that. Hopefully the dolphin got a prenup.
AzurePhoenix Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 this article "He will still play with all the other girls there," she said, of their prenuptial agreement. "I hope he has a lot of baby dolphins with the other dolphins. The more dolphins the better." Well I feel silly.
Phi for All Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 I am appalled. How harmful will this be to the poor animal's psyche? I just can't think of anything more sick and twisted than naming a male dolphin "Cindy".
padren Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 I can't imagine how anyone could consider it a marriage given "Cindy's" incapacity to comprehend the ceremony or its purpose past "the nice lady is giving me more fish." I especially like "Zilber accepted the challenge and "talked the idea over with the fellow," who apparently consented." which IMO means "Zilber accepted a large check to tell Tendler what she wanted to hear." I am suspect though, I think she may be marrying him for Israeli citizenship.
Royston Posted January 5, 2006 Author Posted January 5, 2006 I was wondering what their homelife might be like...there certainly wouldn't be any arguments about who was washing the dishes, or who prepared the meals at an evening, but I think 'Cindy' hogging the bath tub all the time could become an issue. 'Cindy'...I agree with Phi for All, that really is a despicable name for a dolphin.
ecoli Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 How is this even possible, wouldn't the dolphin have to consent to getting married?
doG Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Is there an mp3 somewhere of the dolphin saying, "I do"? A talking dolphin could make his bride even more millions on tour.
Phi for All Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Whats the porpoise of marrying a dolphin?The staff will shortly be adding unconscionable puns to the list of bannable offenses, primarily due to this post. How is this even possible, wouldn't the dolphin have to consent to getting married?Apparently the groom was seen nodding his head several times after the bride popped the question. He was either giving his consent or doing his Flipper imitation.
lightwave Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Did you expect anything else? A wealthy jewess marries dolphin. Dolphins are the new gods (of the environment). Isn't it appropriate that the wealthy marry them (dolphins) first. May I ask a question? What is foolish about it? And that is a sincere question.
cosine Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 I have to say this is a rather amusing, and even slightly heart-warming, piece of news. However evem though we joke about the dolphin giving consent, I do think its quite possible the dolphin may have a connection with the woman. Someone only needs to have a pet to know that affection can go across species (though not normally in the romantic sense... but then again, just how many differences are there? especially to a dolphin...)
wgasa Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Now, don't you have to "do it" in order for a marriage to be legal? I'd like a video of that. im not sure if you were asking for a video of them 'doing it' or of the wedding. herse a video clip of the 'marriage'. http://video.msn.com/v/us/v.htm?g=974de5a1-7e0c-4b47-aab6-debe2d38807d&f=copy one word to describe it, ridiculous.
tejaswini Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 wow they got married. that sounds so nice. animals+ humans =new species. who knows how our world is going to change in the next few years.
insane_alien Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 wow they got married. that sounds so nice. animals+ humans =new species.who knows how our world is going to change in the next few years. No. Animals + humans = no chance of a viable embryo = no pregnancy in either species.
gcol Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 After they have had some nookie and someone wrinkles their nose and says" I smell fish" , The superior response would be "dolphin is not a fish, stupid".
