So Long And Thanks For All The Fish

    This photo was taken for a North Hawaii News story published in mid-August of 2007.

    So Long And Thanks For All The Fish

    So long and thanks for all the fish
    So sad that it should come to this
    We tried to warn you all but oh dear

    You may not share our intellect
    Which might explain your disrespect
    For all the natural wonders that grow (around you)
    So long so long and thanks for all the fish

    The world’s about to be destroyed
    There’s no point getting all annoyed
    Lie back and let the planet dissolve (around you)

    Despite those nets of tuna fleets
    We thought that most of you were sweet
    Especially tiny tots and your pregnant women

    So long so long, so long so long, so long so long, so long so long
    So long so long, so long so long, so long so long
    So long so long and thanks for all the fish

    If I had just one last wish
    I would like a tasty fish
    If we could just change one thing
    We would all have learned to sing

    Come one and all
    Man and mammal
    Side by side in life's great gene pool

    So long so long, so long so long, so long so long, so long so long
    So long so long, so long so long, so long so long
    So long so long and thanks for all the fish

      ROFL!!!
      Not laughing at your photo (which is an incredible capture!)
      but, the fact that as soon as I saw the thumbnail, I was going to comment, "Looks like they're all bidding us 'aloha' and saying, 'So long and thanks for all the fish!'"

      Wonderful shot - goes perfectly with the song. Douglas Adams would be proud

      What a great shot! The water looks very inviting. I love the title too, perfect! I bet Douglass Adams is somewhere loving this too.

      That's the best four-dolphin-tail-walkin' photo I've ever seen.
      I wish Flipper was alive to see this.

      There's something fishy about this photo - even if they are mammals!!

      The last ever dolphin message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double backwards somersault through a hoop while whistling The Star-Spangled Banner...

      Hey you sass that hoopy Ford Prefect, now there's a frood who really knows where his towel is.

      and Just what IS the ultimate question to "Life, The Universe, and Everything"?
