    Scientists this weekend were left baffled when local fisherman Sallent caught a morbidly obese dolphin off the Florida coast. "We may have discovered a new species of dolphin," said professor Knowitall, PhD. If verified, this could be the first species of dolphin discovered in several hundred years. Others are more skeptical. Marine life expert Havenoidea, PhD said "I think it's just a regular dolphin. This unfortunate creature probably got this way, so round and full of fat, by eating the caviar leftovers thrown into the sea by uncaring cruise ship passengers."
    A new species of dolphin, or morbidly obese butterball filled with caviar, this discovery is sure to spark renewed interest in marine-life research.

    How would anyone know the dolphin ate too much caviar thrown away from cruise ships? That sounds like a more fishy story than the dolphin being morbidly obese to begin with. Ha, ha! But, your coin says it all.
