This may be the dolphin equivalent of harnessing fire. Laugh if you want, but you won't be laughing when the seas are ruled by vortex-powered dolphin cruisers.

The playful rapists of the seas.

That's pretty amazing. From that wiki page:

I for one, welcome our new Dolphin overl-- oh, hell, I can't keep up this charade. Listen people: Dolphins are our masters already. They're so clever that we don't even realize it.

We keep them in tanks. They can create their own toys out of holes in their heads. Plainly, they've won evolution.

They're trying to spell "OUT". It may take them a while to get the "T" to look right.

"Our plans for conquering the bipeds are proceeding well. Professor Squeaky, how is the weapons research coming?"

"Well, you had us research hydrovortex technology and we found that if you squirt bubbles from your blowhole and focus them with your snout, they turn into rings."

"And these rings can punch a hole through the walls of this biped prison?"

"Uh, no."

"Can they hypnotize the bipeds into doing our bidding?"

"I doubt it."

"What exactly do they do, then?"

"Uh, you can...play with them?"

"YOU FOOLS! I gave you millions in research funding and this is all you have to offer?"

"You didn't give us millions in research funding. You gave us a bunch of mackerel heads and we ate them. We told you we weren't scientists."

"WELL, WE"RE ALL TRAPPED IN THIS BIPED PRISON. I DIDN'T HAVE MUCH CHOICE, DO I? YOU'VE DOOMED US ALL!"

"...Wanna play with bubble rings?"

I never knew this about dolphins. Such amazing creatures.

I had one of those wry grandmotherly smiles seeing this.

Why. Oh why, would this beauty be associated with the horror of the Screwfly larvae video?
