... So...Actually Orcas technically ARE dolphins...<br /><br />... Sorry, there was no need for that. Just something I picked up from the old Wikipedia. It also said that Orca have been known to attack and eat DEER and MOOSE swimming between the islands in BC. Now THAT photo would be Herald front page material for sure.<br /><br />But talking about the traditional porpoise, I think they are missing that one factor that all the others share - potential deadliness to humans. Luckily for them the ocean is a veritable gold-mine of lethal sea creatures, so this series could go on for a while.<br /><br />Episode 10...

What other facts can you offer?<br /><br />"It is unclear whether the thieves attached a skimming device to the payment machines or accessed the devices' credit-card database internally"<br /><br />"Mr Dowling said that while the investigation was continuing, the bank would not provide any further details.
