Great story, Brad!
Remember the story of the kid who fell into the ape exhibit at the zoo a while back only to have one of the apes carry him to a safe area and watch over him until help arrived? Although I'm not ready to go vegetarian or anything, I believe there's more going on in the heads of the "higher animals" than we might assume...
Now if I could just get a pod of dolphins to watch over me during those long deco stops in the green water I would feel much better! At least I usually have Phil with me so my odds are reduced by 50%, ha!
