no, no, NO

they got it all wrong..

Fossil remains show dolphins and whales were four-footed land animals about 50 million years ago and share the same common ancestor as hippos and deer. Scientists believe they later transitioned to an aquatic lifestyle and their hind limbs disappeared.

Though odd-shaped protrusions have been found near the tails of dolphins and whales captured in the past, researchers say this was the first time one had been found with well-developed, symmetrical fins, Hayashi said.

"I believe the fins may be remains from the time when dolphins' ancient ancestors lived on land ... this is an unprecedented discovery," Seiji Osumi, an adviser at Tokyo's Institute of Cetacean Research, said at a news conference televised Sunday.

see, they've got it all backwards- they've caught a *future* dolphin; a progenitor, as it were. they don't know what they've done! the dolphins won't stand for an unmitigated assassination.. surely retaliation is imminent- somebody recomission SeaQuest!
eh, who am i kidding.. that episode of the simpsons with Snarky the Dolphin has already shown us our bleak future under dolphin rule..
i, for one, welcome our dolphin overlords.
