We did the 1972 Dolphins a big favor. But why? Two weeks ago, the 2005 Dolphins handed us a home defeat, which might end up costing us a spot in the playoffs.

The whale is endangered, while the ant continues to do just fine.

Kurt Vonnegut

A great swindle of our time is the assumption that science has made religion obsolete. All science has damaged is the story of Adam and Eve and the story of Jonah and the Whale.
