Sometimes, I think there are creatures that are intelligent and actually think and reason.
Porpoises seem to be one of them.

Crazy, I was just down there this weekend. Seems like at least one person drowns out there every year. As far as the porpoises, they definitely aren't afraid of people out there. I can't tell you how many times we used to hand feed them fish off our pier. Whether or not they brought the guy in, well who knows, they may have pushed him in a bit, who knows. I have seen them get into extremely shallow water in the surf playing or feeding many times.
Dolphins certainly reason. They have been known to kill the young of their porpoise competitors. Adult dolphins have also been known to bludgeon juveniles of their own species to death. Infanticide is brutal, but it's a pretty smart individual survival strategy. Get rid of your competition.

No contest, Roadside Gaudy is the worst insult for anyone.
My personal feeling is that memorials do not belong on the public right-of-way as a further distraction to driving.
I can not put a 12" steel pipe filled with concrete up as a base for my mailbox, because it is on the public right of way and my cause damage to someone who leaves the roadway, but I drive around and see cement borders around landscaped rocks and plastic flowers with tedddy bears etc...
I hope I'll be remembered for how I lived and loved, not for where I died.
I wouldn't want the roadside plastic flowers and wooden crosses to honor my memory, either. To me- like someone said earlier- it is an unnecessary distraction.
Besides- the already planned (by me) 175ft tall bronze statue with the 200ft circular forbidden zone around the area- complete with nighttime illumination visible for 25 miles- would be sufficient.
(for now)

Mine. Not yours.
I kept waiting on a "didn't do it on porpoise" joke.
BS I AM DISAPPOINT

Speaking of jokes and porpoises...
Once there was a marine biologist, named Dr. Panglos, who loved dolphins. (When I say he loved dolphins though, I’m not talking about in any kind of “sick” way; he just loved to study them). He spent his time trying to feed and protect his beloved creatures of the sea. One day, in a fit of inventive genius, he came up with a serum that would make dolphins live forever!
Of course he was ecstatic. But he soon realised that, in order to mass produce this serum, he would need large amounts of a certain compound that was only found in nature in the metabolism of a rare South American myna bird. Carried away by his love for dolphins, however, he decided that he would go to the zoo and steal one of these birds.
As he was arriving at the zoo an elderly lion was escaping from its cage. The Lion’s name was Leo, which wasn’t too original of a name for a lion if you ask me, but it’s probably not important to the story. Anyway, the zoo keepers were alarmed and immediately began combing the zoo for the escaped animal, unaware that it had simply lain down on the sidewalk and had gone to sleep since it was the Lion’s regular naptime anyway.
Meanwhile, the marine biologist arrived at the zoo and stole his bird. He was so excited by the prospect of helping his dolphins that he stepped absent mindedly over the sleeping lion on his way back to his car. Immediately, 15 policemen converged on him and arrested him for the crime of transporting a myna across a staid lion for immortal porpoises.
<don't blame me, GBUndersea - or his brother- told me the longer version of one while camping once>

^ This was much funnier than the joke.
