I realise biomedical ethics is quite a serious topic, but I found this today...I particularly like the line 'I'm not a pervert'

Eilat, Israel (December 29, 2005 ) Till death do us part?

An unusual wedding ceremony was held in the southern resort town of Eilat on Wednesday, as Sharon Tendler, a 41-years-old Jewish millionaire from London married her beloved Cindy, a 35-years-old dolphin, Israel's leading newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported Thursday.

Well, they said it was going to happen when the anti-sodomy laws were repealed....

are those two having a honeymoon?

Would this be considered as bestiality?

 

Hmm, this certainly is a strange one.

This is all well and good, but how'll she react when he cheats on her? And will the dolphin have to pay alimony after the divorce?

DAMN IT! Now it's going to look lame when I do it. Now, don't you have to "do it" in order for a marriage to be legal? I'd like a video of that.

 

Hopefully the dolphin got a prenup.

this article

"He will still play with all the other girls there," she said, of their prenuptial agreement. "I hope he has a lot of baby dolphins with the other dolphins. The more dolphins the better."

Well I feel silly.

I am appalled. How harmful will this be to the poor animal's psyche? I just can't think of anything more sick and twisted than naming a male dolphin "Cindy".

I can't imagine how anyone could consider it a marriage given "Cindy's" incapacity to comprehend the ceremony or its purpose past "the nice lady is giving me more fish."

 

I especially like "Zilber accepted the challenge and "talked the idea over with the fellow," who apparently consented." which IMO means "Zilber accepted a large check to tell Tendler what she wanted to hear."

 

 

I am suspect though, I think she may be marrying him for Israeli citizenship.

I was wondering what their homelife might be like...there certainly wouldn't be any arguments about who was washing the dishes, or who prepared the meals at an evening, but I think 'Cindy' hogging the bath tub all the time could become an issue.

 

'Cindy'...I agree with Phi for All, that really is a despicable name for a dolphin.

Whats the porpoise of marrying a dolphin?

How is this even possible, wouldn't the dolphin have to consent to getting married?

Is there an mp3 somewhere of the dolphin saying, "I do"? A talking dolphin could make his bride even more millions on tour.

The staff will shortly be adding unconscionable puns to the list of bannable offenses, primarily due to this post.

Apparently the groom was seen nodding his head several times after the bride popped the question. He was either giving his consent or doing his Flipper imitation.

Did you expect anything else?

 

A wealthy jewess marries dolphin.

 

Dolphins are the new gods (of the environment).

 

Isn't it appropriate that the wealthy marry them (dolphins) first.

 

May I ask a question?

 

What is foolish about it? And that is a sincere question.

I have to say this is a rather amusing, and even slightly heart-warming, piece of news. However evem though we joke about the dolphin giving consent, I do think its quite possible the dolphin may have a connection with the woman. Someone only needs to have a pet to know that affection can go across species (though not normally in the romantic sense... but then again, just how many differences are there? especially to a dolphin...)

Now, don't you have to "do it" in order for a marriage to be legal? I'd like a video of that.

 

im not sure if you were asking for a video of them 'doing it' or of the wedding. herse a video clip of the 'marriage'.

one word to describe it,

ridiculous.

wow they got married. that sounds so nice. animals+ humans =new species.

who knows how our world is going to change in the next few years.

No. Animals + humans = no chance of a viable embryo = no pregnancy in either species.

After they have had some nookie and someone wrinkles their nose and says" I smell fish" , The superior response would be "dolphin is not a fish, stupid".
