One word for this thread... both the topic and the tangent... "Facepalm"

If you think Education is expensive, try Ignorance.

"The inhabitants of the sea have much to teach us." ~Wyland
"I have slipped the bonds of Earth to dance with dolphins." :dolphin: ~Wyland
"If human civilization is going to invade the waters of the earth, then let it be first of all to carry a message of respect." ~ Jacques Cousteau

NOSB: A great way for high schoolers to learn about the oceans.

A whale killed a dolphin but he was acquitted because he didn't do it on porpoise.
