chinese_dophins Remember when you were a kid and loved those “What’s wrong with this photo” games? Let’s play again.

Look at this photo. Then read the following story from the Chinese news agency Xinua and see if you can figure out what’s wrong with the photo. (Answer found below.) Here’s the story:

“The Chinese merchant ships escorted by a China’s fleet sailed on the Gulf of Aden when they met some suspected pirate ships. Thousands of dolphins suddenly leaped out of water between pirates and merchants when the pirate ships headed for the China’s.”

DO NOT SCROLL DOWN UNTIL YOU’RE READY TO SEE THE ANSWER:

ANSWER: The story says the dolphins came between the pirates and the merchant ship. The only way this photo could be real is if one of the pirates snapped it from aboard the pirate ship.

Counterfeit dolphins. Add this to the list of Chinese products that includes counterfeit watches, videogames, and CDs.

You got me! That is one score for you guys, next time I will try it on a full compliment of coffee, and maybe do some critical thinking before I give up.

On the other hand, they could be friendly pirates who snapped the picture and were so entranced by the site of the courageous dolphins, they emailed the photo to the Chinese captain and decided to sing kumbaya with the crew. And once again, nature teaches us how to coexist.

Nothing’s wrong with the picture–it really is a picture of a whole bunch of dolphins a couple hundred yards off the port side of a couple ships–the caption is what’s fake.
