I love Hamza. In fact, he is one of my favorite people in the world. But what is his obsession with Sharks? I mean, they are not nearly as amazing as Dolphins.
Even though I have tried to convince him of Dolphin superiority, Hamza refuses to accept the truth. Because of his contention, I am forced to list the top ten reasons why Dolphins are better than Sharks.
And, seriously, is there really any competition?
10. Ecco the Dolphin
Ecco the Dolphin for the Genesis is a pretty awesome game. Jaws Unleashed for the original Xbox is one of the worst things ever created.
9. Dolphins love to play
When you swim in the water, Dolphins will playfully push you around and let you grab onto their fins. OMG HA HA HA I AM SWIMMING WITH DOLPHINS! If you are in the water with a Shark it will eat your face off. OMG I AM SWIMMING WITH A SHARK ... *face eating*
8. Dolphins can walk on water
Yeah. Like Jesus.
7. Brad Logan: Dolphin Prince
Amazing.
6. Dolphins wear prosthetics
When Dolphins are hurt, humans make prosthetic fins for them. If I recall, I think Roy Scheider tried to blow up the injured Shark at the end of Jaws, not make him a helpful (and cute) prosthetic.
5. The cheerleader from Heroes fights to save Dolphins
And not just her. A whole horde of attractive people love risking their lives to protect Dolphins from pointless slaughter. When was the last time you heard of anyone (even ugly people) fighting to save a Shark? Oh, that’s right, NEVER!
4. Dolphins are the only animals (besides humans) that have sex for pleasure
This is pretty much the only reason I need to list.
3. Dolphins beat up Sharks
There are numerous stories of Dolphins killing Sharks. Even though they look weak, Dolphins always beat Sharks in a fight. Why? Well, Dolphins are highly intelligent (almost more than humans) and use their noses to stab aggressive, threatening Sharks to death. Did you read that? THEY STAB SHARKS TO DEATH WITH THEIR NOSES. In your face, Sharks!
2. Dolphins save humans all the time
There are too many stories to list here, but Dolphins are known to rescue humans from many perilous situations. Whether it be guiding stranded surfers to safety or protecting shipwreck victims, Dolphins will always be known as the “Oprahs” of the sea. Except if Dolphins opened a school in Africa the children there would not be molested.
1. Sharks are assholes
This is not really a reason why Dolphins are great as much as it is a reason why Sharks aren’t. Think about it: Sharks really are assholes. All they do is scare the shit out of people and then eat them. And if they don’t fully eat them they scar them for life! Assholes!
So they can lose and grow 30,000 teeth in one lifetime. Big deal. Maybe if they stopped eating things like license plates and baby skulls they wouldn’t lose their teeth to begin with. Assholes!
They can’t get cancer? Shoot, I think it’s just because cancer doesn’t like assholes. Dane Cook doesn’t have cancer, does he? Coincidence? I think not.
"They can’t get cancer? Shoot, I think it’s just because cancer doesn’t like assholes. Dane Cook doesn’t have cancer, does he? Coincidence? I think not."
Hey Chad! Don't forget that not only did Roy Scheider blow up a shark but also starred in SeaQuest where he teamed up with Darwin the dolphin who was incidentally voiced by Frank Welker who is also the voice of Megatron, Nibbler from Futurama and GameBoy from Captain N...WIN!!!
I won't take sides because I think I am scared of both dolphins AND sharks and therefore can cast a vote for either, but OMG you guys make me hate screenprint t-shirts less. Where did you guys get those things?!
I don't think sharks are assholes. They're just sharks. No personalities. Dolphins have personalities. Some nice, some horny (that's one crazy link, Nintendoll), some dolphins are DICKS! They like, murder, for fun. Oh well.
My vote is for dolphins, but not 'cause I trust the bastards.
@Remo,
Actually, I was referring to bonobos. I think they are a breed of chimpanzee. Do chimps have breeds? Anyway, yeah, oral sex as a greeting. AMAZING! :)
"Occasionally, dolphins will also show sexual behaviour towards other animals, including humans." So it's not just the dolphin the video, they're just all horny.
