I didn't really watch the first one for character development.

I'm just happy that this is a story so good, it got linked to three times and sparked a tagline.

Yeah, I've seen four or five different articles and blog posts about it since yesterday....

I didn't really watch the first one for character development.

It's not that I wanted it, it's that they tried to give it to me and failed. I really think they could have cut nearly half the movie and improve it quite a bit.

On Rhode Island -- I'm pretty sure that the "Rhode Island" part is actually just a tiny island off the coast, which has a different name now, and "Providence Plantations" is what used to refer to the mainland part.

Huh. An uneasy truce between Human and Dolphin has collapsed....

Dolphins Under Siege By Angry Anglers

PANAMA CITY, Fla. — Miles offshore, a fight is raging between angry anglers armed with guns and bombs and bottlenose dolphins, the marine mammals popularized in movies and TV shows like "Flipper."

Boat captains say dolphins, known for their toothy grins and playfulness, are growing increasingly aggressive in their quest for food, with some taking fish right off the hook _ something that rarely happened just a few years ago.

In response, fishermen are pulling out everything from pipe bombs to .357-caliber Magnum pistols to fend them off _ and breaking a federal law against harming the sea mammals.

The head of a national fishing organization, Bob Zales II, said the problem of bottlenose dolphins stealing fish has gotten "tremendously worse" in the last year. So have stories of retaliation by angry boat captains and ordinary anglers, who are paying hundreds of dollars for even short fishing trips because of high fuel prices.

"You have people who are getting so frustrated they're shooting at them," said Zales, of Panama City, who has fished for more than four decades and is president of the National Association of Charter Boat Operators.

The captain of a Florida-based fishing boat is serving two years in prison after pleading guilty earlier this year to making pipe bombs and tossing them at dolphins, which are protected by federal law.

Two other captains have pleaded guilty to shooting at the animals in the Gulf of Mexico, home to tens of thousands of dolphins, in the last three years. And four dead dolphins washed ashore with bullet wounds near San Diego, Calif., in 2007. Authorities offered a reward in the shootings, but no one was charged.

And the Elvis parallels continue....

Michael Jackson Doctor -- MIA

We've learned law enforcement is looking for a doctor who lived at Michael Jackson's home -- and the doctor is nowhere to be found.

Law enforcement sources tell us a BMW belonging to the doctor was towed from Jackson's home last night.

Cops are looking to interview the doc.

A law enforcement source says the doctor gave Jackson an injection before he died.

Jackson reportedly may have OD'd on Demerol. As we first reported, family members were concerned that Jackson was taking too much morphine.

eta: Final Days: The Mystery of Michael Jackson's Death

It should have been the opportunity of a lifetime for a Michael Jackson fan: a behind-the-scenes invitation to a rehearsal for the superstar's upcoming concert tour in the United Kingdom.

But when the fan got to the stage, she was horrified. "He is a skeleton," she wrote Monday in an email to other Jackson fans. Worse, she said, was seeing her idol surrounded by people she deemed too frightened to say anything. "I have to say: He may die."

Maybe the doctor was Elvis?

Maybe the doctor was Elvis?

You just blew my mind.

What was he even on morphine for? That seems ... odd. I mean, I can see a scrip for Vicodin or something, but straight-up morphine? Wow.

There should be a Star Trek episode where they discover that some alien entity has over the centuries been taking human form in order to prescribe excess painkillers to various celebrities, causing them to OD. Then they'll name various celebrities that have died, including Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, Michael Jackson and T'chel V'horfa of Rigel 5....
