Oh no, not again?!
Dolphins do it deliberately. After all, they're smarter than us so why should they talk to us stupid Apes.

...and yes, Dolphins are the assholes of the sea. Anyone who watched Flipper could tell you that. :lol:

Why? Because she whaps people for using tired memes and pops their little bubbles of uninformed bliss?
Anyone who knows the story of how Flipper nearly singlehandedly led to the popularity of dolphins and their commercial use for shows and such, with attendant high stress/suicide rates, and how those dolphins are supplied... well, dolphins may be the assholes of the sea, but we are definitely the assholes of the planet.
On a lighter note, Barista Week: The Fuck Sex issue and a t-shirt that I keep thinking says sMILF college. This has been a sex filled week for the strip, hasn't it? Interesting that the singularity wasn't a one off between the robots, it's an actual event in QC-verse. Will we start getting robot girl barista's soon with spines that glow red? Please say yes!

Another chunk of the English language forever ruined for me by TVTropes (don't worry, the entire page is hyperlinked so none stand out to pique curiosity, just keep your cursor off the text and you'll be fine.)

Dolphins can't be the assholes of the sea so long as some of those dudes from Deadliest Catch are still going down to the sea in ships.

I admit he's somewhat creepy, but that reaction's a little extreme.
(Yes, Raoul did pick this video because of that first image. Jeph has finally corrupted him!)

Oh, yes, we forgot -- that's your job too, isn't it? :D

It's in fact the Barista Weekly - the Fuck You issue.

Oh right, cheers. Much obliged. :)
Having done an Astrophysics degree the use of 'singularity' only has one meaning to me (I mean a gravitational singularity or spacetime singularity). The technological singularity didn't really explain the joke to me but the above does. I'm aware of what The Rapture is but having been brought up as an atheist I've never read the Bible and don't think in religious circles. All said, we're talking about a strip that makes a particular joke that not everyone will get.
What I find interesting is that xkcd has this issue pretty much every week but when someone says they don't get the joke on that forum people bother to tell them what the answer is. Dunno, it takes me two minutes to type this sort of thing out so it's not a big deal for me. I think if your lives are too busy to let you respond with an actual answer then maybe you need some better time management, starting with not wasting your precious minutes on a forum like this.
