When the program ran out of funding and was shut down, the dolphin was moved to a new location and committed suicide because he was so heartbroken. :(

This is all very true, but that does not excuse this particular photographer from delivering such a lovely product and then telling the woman "my teacher didn't show us how to retouch photos." Christ, that's what half of professional photography is!

I worked for a pro photo lab (as in, our clients could bill in the 10s of thousands for photo sessions because they were just that good) in the dying days of film and I'm still bitter about how any idiot with a big enough bank account can buy themselves the most expensive equipment and get an Adobe Creative Cloud license and then just call themselves a photographer, all the while without knowing what an F-stop is or how to use reflectors and a fill flash.

And furthermore, you kids get off my lawn! :argh:

Agreed. I work in the stone and chisel industry and I often lament how just any rube off the street thinks they can pick up a quill and inkwell and just start writing things down.

gently caress, that's not even a joke.

quote:

At the Miami lab, held captive in smaller tanks with little or no sunlight, Peter quickly deteriorated, and after a few weeks Lovatt received news.

"I got that phone call from John Lilly," she recalls. "John called me himself to tell me. He said Peter had committed suicide."

Ric O'Barry corroborates the use of this word. "Dolphins are not automatic air-breathers like we are," he explains. "Every breath is a conscious effort. If life becomes too unbearable, the dolphins just take a breath and they sink to the bottom. They don't take the next breath." Andy Williamson puts Peter's death down to a broken heart, brought on by a separation from Lovatt that he didn't understand. "Margaret could rationalise it, but when she left, could Peter? Here's the love of his life gone."

How a lot of the research done on dolphins (and animals in general) back then would be considered completely abhorrent today.

The lead researcher also injected the dolphins with LSD just to see what it would do. It did nothing.

I haven't seen it yet, but I heard there was going to be a sex scene between the creature from the black lagoon and the heroine and it made me giggle. I just imagine the love scene involves the fish man sadly following her around hoping she'll lay her clutch of eggs so that he can wander by and fertilize them.

I doubt that's how it actually plays out.

There's only one way it plays out.

Imagine being that woman and having to go home and have your SO ask how your day was.

It could be worse, she could have been the lady at the rhino breeding programme who had to do exactly what you think she did, but had huge problems because the boy rhino she was tugging off kept sitting down at the moment of climax, forcing her to start all over again.


Fake edit - I went looking for the rhino video because it was pretty funny (all her colleagues were making really inappropriate jokes at her) and discovered a loving horrorshow. I had to stop at "internal stimulation of elephant to collect its sperm" with the thumbnail being a guy with one of those shoulder length gloves standing next to an elephant's arse.

Oh man half of those are such chump deaths. Why on earth would you step into a pit you don't need to? Of course it's spikes, you pod huffer, you moron, you diggitydoink idiot.

Also what's the gripe with traps you can't spot until they kill you? Of course you can't spot them until they kill you! That's the point with traps! Like this guy couldn't even trap a prison to keep the prisoners out.
