I'd Take Dolphin, Would You?

If I were given the choice between Spanish, French, Chinese, and Dolphin in high school, I'd definitely take Dolphin. And it looks like this might be a possibility in the future. Scientists are working on developing a common language between humans and dolphins. They're language is immensely complex, though, because their range of frequency is much wider than ours (i.e. like elephants except on the high end of the frequency spectrum rather than the low end, they can speak without us hearing) and they can direct their voices towards other dolphins, so it can be tough to figure out who exactly is talking.

Still, it really is an amazing possibility. Some people say that if we want to be able to talk to aliens, we should learn to talk to dolphins first. Works for me. Maybe they'd tell us how we can stop destroying the ocean. They do seem smarter than us - and certainly happier.
