Lancelot Link

When I came across this dog article, I was reminded of a story about dolphins that appeared after huricane Katrina. The navy, apparently, trains dolphins to fire projectile weapons that are strapped to their heads. The articles weren't specific as to how.

When the flood waters rose above the dolphins' holding pens on the Gulf Coast in August, the deluge joined some of their containment tanks with the Gulf of Mexico, and a pod of the dolphin assassins escaped. I never heard anything else on this issue, so I assume they didn't attack anyone; they seem to have only been armed with tranquilizer darts. But presumably they are still out there, complete with praetorian head gear.
