thanks?

is there a babelfish plug-in that translates from english to dolphin click?

the tall guy looks so thrilled in that photo

How would one feel after receiving the phone call: “Uh, so we need you to stick your insanely long arm down into a dolphin’s stomach and retrieve some plastic bits”?

AMAZING!

I really love the use of kit-logic. “Shit, we can’t reach with instruments—LET’S GET A REALLY TALL GUY TO JUST PUT HIS ARM IN THERE”

I have those kinds of plans ALL THE TIME, and everyone just laughs.

How would one feel after receiving the phone call: “Uh, so we need you to stick your insanely long arm down into a dolphin’s stomach and retrieve some plastic bits”?

i wonder if they really needed someone with a 1.05m arm, or did the doctors just didn’t want to do it themselves and picked on him because he’s tall.

Did they hold him by the shoes though?

If I were that dolphin, I’d be shitting my pants: “do not come at me with that thing! I do not want to be gagged by your enormous arm!”

i can’t believe he’s not even 8 ft tall this is a huge disappointment

he’s barely taller than yao ming

for reals. he wins on style points I think. quite dapper.

How’s the weather up there solid tall dude?

TS: This headline vs. the one about the boy kicking the hawk in the face to save his dog

Too bad he couldn’t save the other dolphins from extinction with the power of his Go Go Gadget arms.

yeah no shit.

when i first read this headline i seriously pictured tall guy reaching into some river and grabbing the last pair of living white dolphins by the tails right as they were about to get munched by an alligator or something, thus allowing a species thought to be extinct to continue on.

HI READ BLOGS AND NOISE BOARDS AND BOING BOING AND ANY SITE THAT AGGREGATES NEWS EVER

You don’t HAVE to be here, you know.

Also, this is the site that I read that aggregates news. Ever.

OTM. Why would we bother with the rest of the internet?

DUDE KINDA HAS THE DARINELLE HAIRCUT GOIN ON

A bit Leonard Nimoy as well.

I didn’t know what this guy was going to look like but “animated character” was not high on the expectation list.

Yeah, he looks kinda like the John Lennon on that 70s Beatles cartoon.

You call that a feat? The McCracy Twins from the late 70s once rescued coalminers from a deep well by both sitting in the mouth of the well, then being tugged out of the well in order to create a vacuum that sucked the coalminers out of the well like air-popped popcorn. And they never got the credibility. Fuck humanity.

From this guy’s Wikipedia entry:

(The story is similar to that of American basketball player Clifford Ray, who was asked to use his long arms to save a California dolphin in 1978.)

USA NMUBER ONE!!!
