Woman marries dolphin:

Sharon Tendler met Cindy 15 years ago. She said it was love at first sight. This week she finally took the plunge and proposed. The lucky "guy" plunged right back.

In a modest ceremony at Dolphin Reef in the southern Israeli port of Eilat, Tendler, a 41-year-old British citizen, apparently became the world's first person to "marry" a dolphin.

Dressed in a white dress, a veil and pink flowers in her hair, Tendler got down on one knee on the dock and gave Cindy a kiss. And a piece of herring.

"It's not a perverted thing. I do love this dolphin. He's the love of my life," she said Saturday, upon her return to London.

Tendler, who said she imports clothes and promotes rock bands in England, has visited Israel several times a year since first meeting the dolphin.

When asked in the past if she had a boyfriend, she would always reply, "No. I'm going to end up with Cindy." On Wednesday, she made it official, sort of. While she acknowledged the "wedding" had no legal bearing she did say it reflected her deep feelings toward the bottlenosed, 35-year-old object of her affection.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

She's British?

Not Californian?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And there I was thinking that Ann Darrow would never be able to love again after losing Kong--and deciding that was just too weird to bear pondering.

Dear Lord, please don't let her be aware of whatever the circumstances were in Australia a few years ago that had dolphins trying to mate with swimmers.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

While I'm on the subject of citibank's off advertising, I don't care if it's Adweek's campaign of the year, those identity theft spots are way too unsubtle to be funny.

Wait, is it a girl dolphin? I wonder whether the lesbolicious or the beastiality would make Santorum's head explode faster.

It's either a girl dolphin, or a boy dolphin exhibiting some gender dysphoria.

This makes me laugh. Because I know when I was in Aspen, we got into that club. Take that, Mischa!

I think it's a boy dolphin named Cindy, but the article doesn't say one way or the other.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I like the identity theft ads.

Katie, there is no such thing as safe browsing, only safer. Sorry.

I'm pretty sure I read a short story in the last couple of years about a woman who has a dolphin's baby. But I don't think they were married.
