The name "dolphin" is originally from Ancient Greek:
.
δελφίς (delphís; "dolphin"), which was related to the Greek δελφύς (delphys; "womb").
.
The animal's name can therefore be interpreted as meaning "a 'fish' with a womb".
.
.While sleeping, the bottlenose dolphin shuts down only half of its brain, along with the opposite eye.
.
The other half of the brain stays awake at a low level of alertness. This attentive side is used to watch for predators, obstacles and other animals. It also signals when to rise to the surface for a fresh breath of air. After approximately two hours, the animal will reverse this process, resting the active side of the brain and awaking the rested half.

I have seen the pictures, over at cabinessence of the dolphin blatantly cutting you off on the left. So after the wave I’ll assume there was some “smack talk” outside. “Your mother was a fish”, “Locals only, kook” the usual stuff. Tempers flared, things escalate. You leave the water but the dolphin follows you up on the beach and a tussle ensues. Hair is pulled, dorsal fins are grabbed. Nothing serious but then the cops arrive. Statements are taken, Gloria Allred offers to represent the dolphin for free since the press will be all over this one since it so close to Earth Day. You end up being rescued by the Volcom/Stone legal machine in exchange for your commitment for development options on certain future properties. All you had to do was post a flattering dolphin piece on your blog to prove there were no hard feelings and that this wasn’t a hate crime. Am I right?
you must have been on the beach watching it all go down to have such an accurate account of it!
I almost did a whole seperate post on it over at FRC. Photoshope your face on a beach squable etc. I had plans man plans but then I got to work and found out I had meetings all day!
