Re: The designer is pretty piss poor
Not only dolphins. Many other animals have separate breathing and eating tubes.
They also can't talk.
Neither can pigs.
Nothing talks except humans. That includes all of the animals that have unified breathing/speaking holes.

Re: The designer is pretty piss poor
ut I think we could consider other animal's somatic auditory communications as "talking" in the sense that they're communicating information to one another with noises from their mouths.
I've got no problem with your position. But if Jon is going to claim that dolphins don't talk, I'm willing to let him have some rope.
This entire line of argument is silly anyway.
