One of the first Internet related cartoons I saw back in the day was in the New Yorker. One dog sitting at a keyboard explains to another dog: “On the Internet, no one knows you’re a dog. Apropos of that comic is the logo for the Internet Identity Workshop.

Dolphins De-bone, De-ink & Devour

Scientists have observed bottlenose dolphins preparing cuttlefish for consumption.

Considering they can’t wield a knife or cleaver, dolphins make impressive butchers.

The telephone will bring an end to concert halls and churches?!?!?!?
