 From A Life in the Cosmos by William Poundstone: .....After this experiment, Sagan visited St. Thomas and played a game of catch with Peter. Sagan threw the ball to Peter, and Peter dove under it and batted it back with his snout. His aim was as accurate as a human's. Then, after a few volleys, the dolphin began returning the ball far to the side of Sagan. Peter was toying with Carl, performing an "experiment" of his own. Figuring that two can play that game, Sagan retrieved the ball one last time and held it, treading water. .....For about a minute, both mammals stood their ground. Peter gave in. He swam into Sagan's side of the tank, circling him, repeatedly brushing past him. This puzzled Sagan. It didn't seem like the dolphin's tail flukes had brushed him. Then he realized the dolphin had a hard-on. .....The frustrated triangle of Sagan, Howe, and Peter was worthy of Sartre. There was a further twist. Peter was one of Lilly's ex-actor dolphins. Sagan had been propositioned by Flipper. | |

			Two very scary Youtube videos. (Warning-- if you are easily intimidated by threats, do not watch!) |

			I could hardly follow any of that drival. Was this a pre-suicide video? Is that kid still alive? |

			Yeah....  I don't want to be around to see it real time. As it happens, I just finished a re-read of "Lucifer's Hammer," a wonderful end-of-civilization-beginning-anew story that really grabs hold all the way through. The 'hammer' is only a 3 mile asteroid, but its devistation was remarkable! Stitchawl |
