You're confusing the porpoise, a mammal sometimes called, erroneously, a
dolphin with the actual fish dolphin, aka mahi mahi and also by the
following names dependent upon where in the world you are, rakingo,
calitos, maverikos, dorado. Methinks you already knew that.

A quaint medieval Lenten notion! Some so-called "dolphins" are fish and
some are mammals but they are not the same beasts at all! That's why the
fish dolphins are often called "mahi-mahi" these days.

There's no fooling you guys.

Why do you bother explaioning things to an obvious troll?

Do yourselves and us a favor and add "George Orwell" to your
killfiles. And "Nomen Nescico" while you're at it.

Let me add another little historical item. In medieval times, to the
benefit of "nobles" and monks, sycophantic clergy decided that beavers
and ducks were "fish" because they lived in water and even dived below.
Thus they could be eated during the Lenten "Fast".

I always thought it was hilarious to say that a day without meat was a
"fast". It's not that long ago in historical terms when a sizable
fraction of the population could only afford meat a few times per year.

Equally hilarious is when someone claims to be a "vegitarian" yet still
eats fish. Fish is cut form an animal and is thus meat.

I add the whole domains of the remailers. I should probably
change these to "Ignore" rather than "Delete" so I don't see any
of the regular morons responding, either.

-1 message-id googlegroups
!delete message-id mixmaster.it
!delete message-id foodbanter.com
!delete message-id dizum.com
!delete message-id ax.lt
!delete message-id ecn.org

(There's more but I'm currently rebuilding the list from scratch)

ObFood: Now that chicken breasts are falling out in favor of
chicken thighs, when will they invent chicken with little boobs
and big thighs?
