| - Like Dolphins they are reputed to be intelligent enough to appear on the television show "Who is smarter than a fifth grader" to justify this: porpoise philosophers have limited their intellectual curiosity to fish, porpoise contributions to Science are negligible and they have constructed no buildings of architectural note since abandoning Atlantis. Porpophiles claim that the species has taken great strides in literature over recent decades, but there is little to show for their efforts due to a failure to develop non-water-soluble inks. It is unclear why the inability to stop smiling has convinced humans that porpoises are anything other than insecure, dishonest or droolingly insane. Though not entirely computer illiterate, Porpoises were among the last species on Earth to utilise the World Wide Web. This is thought to be due to an unfortunate translation of the word “Internet” (“Squeak, squelch, beep, squelch, squeak”) as “Squeak, squelch, beep, squelch, squeak, aaarghhh!” or “Into net”. They are distinct from dolphins, although the word "porpoise" has been used to refer to any small dolphin, especially by sailors and fishermen. Diminutive Dolphins themselves prefer the term “DORG“– Dolphin of restricted Growth or even dwarf Hell-fish as they consider porpoises to be poor cousins, the type that live on farms and only breed with each other and livestock. The most obvious visible difference between the two groups is that porpoises have flattened, spade-shaped teeth distinct from the conical teeth of dolphins, and shorter beaks. In addition, Dolphins prefer to fight with bladed weapons to utilise their longer reach, whereas porpoises have traditionally favoured firearms, despite the obvious limitations of their aquatic environment. Most sources believe that the name porpoise derives from French pourpois, originally from Medieval Latin porcopiscus (porcus pig + piscus fish). However porpoises vigorous deny this claiming that the word derives from the Algonquin Indian word “Papoose” and refers to their habit of carrying their young on their backs while hunting Bison and selling their birthright for pretty beads. Porpoises are divided into six species and live in all oceans, mostly near the shore and only occasionally in condominiums. Probably the best known species is the Harbour Porpoise, which can be found across the Northern Hemisphere and appears regularly in Hello and other celebrity magazines. Freshwater populations of the Finless Porpoise exist but have inherent stability problems which had led to them being referred to as “revolving dolphins”, a term they dislike. Like all toothed whales, porpoises are predators, using sounds to locate prey and to coordinate with others. They mostly hunt fish, squid, and giraffe, but when times are hard can be seen hanging around shopping malls bumming change for burgers. Porpoises apparently diverged from dolphins about 15 million years ago due to musical differences. This is thought to have occurred in the Northern Pacific during the Japanese leg of a world tour.
