A spokesman for the Auckland rescue helicopter that saved a woman at sea said the woman was sitting in the bow of a small pleasure craft in the Bay of Plenty around 2.30 in the afternoon today when, out of nowhere, a dolphin seemed to miscalculate its leap out of the water and slammed into her. “I’ve never heard of a dolphin hitting someone on a boat,” said the spokesman. “You can’t even catch them on lures when you go gamefishing; they’re too smart.” Exactly. The woman received several serious injuries from the apparent mishap and is in intensive care at Auckland Hospital. First the unprovoked stingray attack on Steve Irwin, then the dolphins eating chunks out of their pool in China, now this. Seems like the fishes are mad as hell and are not going to take it anymore. Now if we can just figure out what “it” is. Although we suspect “gamefishing” might be involved. (Source)
