The swimmers the dolphins push away from shore don’t live to tell the tale

When I made this the tag-line for this widely unread blog, after trying out a few things from Buckaroo Banzai [0] and other cultural references going back to Moby-Dick at least, and arriving at this commentary on unexamined assumptions and selection bias, I had no evidence there might be any truth to it. But since the orcas started the war with yachts [1], their cousins the dolphins are also fighting a rear-guard action.

So I guess I will keep this around for a while longer while we see how this plays out in the rising oceans.

[2] Is that dark sarcasm?
