narcuul, there was an IOtD, way, way back, that sparked a long debate, on whether it was a shark or a dolphin in a wave, right next to a surfer. Now, when ever either one is mentioned, someone is likely to mention the other.

Hi narcuul,
I'm impressed with your grasp of English.

This is the picture.
This is NOT a shark. Sharks do not have a horizontal tail. Sharks have no interest in surfing. Dolphins love surfing and do it all the time.

I don't think I have ever seen a dolphin that large before.

Dolphin or not, if I was the guy on the surfboard I would be needing a change of wetsuit. Sitting IN the ocean, I don't think I would have the wherewithall to make analytical judgements. :eek:

Speaking of Dolphins, EHOWA(maybe NSFW) had this picture taken in Bermuda.

According to Kurt Jones website, it's a dolphin.

The thread degradation to "whale penis" is almost complete.

They said it was a Dolphin because they saw some Dolphins in the area several hours later.

Well, I don't know. It looks like a shark to me to be honest. I'd challenge the horizontal tail fin myself. I don't think the picture shows clearly enough to make that distinction.

Also, dolphins are supposed to only grow to a maximum size of 2.5 metres. I suppose there could be mutants though.

Anyway, maybe it's photoshopped. :alien:

you bitch! my shark was photoshopped on 9/11....

ahuh...ok...ummmm...if you say so.

*backing away slowly*

:lol:

Maybe the dophins where the surfer is get that big. The ones I see every time I go out boating are no more than 6 feet long.

Is this the cellar equivalent of a Godwin ?

it's a shark.

Without question, my favorite aircraft of all time.

Thank you!

Aircraft? Don't be silly, aircraft don't surf like Dolphins and sharks.

Ok, Bruce, and Spuck, now I get the dolphins and the sharks. Thanks. :D

I have seen that picture before. But I never would have thought it was about that.. :)

And.. I have to say I really don't know if it's a shark or a dolphin. I always thought it was a shark, but never really *thought* about it..

Ok. So much for that. :)

Not hardly, I'm sure it will raise it's ugly fin, repeatedly.

If anyone is still questioning the truth behind the OP, here's a video of the event:

Pretty awesome...

'Cause they can't falsify moving pictures :p

Excellent, SparkStalker, and welcome to the Cellar. :D

They can't falsify tens of thousands of eye witnesses.

It's only a model. [/PATSY]

Magicians can make elephants appear out of nowhere in front of large crowds.

Did you see it, or have you personally met some who said they saw it.

:headshake

Hearsay

That's the thing about IOtD. Were it not true, someone who was there, would pop up to deny it.

A witness who didn't see anything would come forward to deny it.:cool:

Sounds reasonable

Based on the fact that there's numerous photos and video from different angles, I'd say that forgery can be ruled out at this point. And yes, they do fly that low :3eye:

You obviously underestimate the power of IOtD.

(he's just yanking your chain. ignore him -like I do....)

right on. pic is a total farce.

Not Photoshopped

Fleet Week in SF 2007

DUDE THAT PLANE IS TOTALLY A DOLPHIN. And furthermore, if the water were moving backwards at an equal speed, it could still take off.

bringing that thread up again may cause you to be banned. tread carefully.:headshake

treadmill carefully?

Is there some sort of Godwin for when a thread descends to qouting Star Wars and/or Monty Python?

A pox on your geeky blaster, the power of IOtD is the glue holding the universe together.
The power that can not be challenged or destroyed.
Just questioning it, killed Albert Einstein.

Has to be photoshopped. That round plume as the planes passes usually denotes the aircraft has just broken the sound barrier. Those fisher dudes would be suing the Navy for causing deafness.

We've already established it can form at less that sound barrier speed.
