The Porpoise Driven Life

A devotional book called "The Purpose Driven Life" written by Rick Warren has sold millions of copies. I heard that Pastor Warren was on television this weekend with a couple of guys running for president, but that event certainly wouldn't provide the basis for a fun GeekList.
How about a GeekList about the porpoise driven life?
PLEASE NOTE: For the porpoises purposes of this GeekList we will accept dolphin as a reasonable facsimile.

The heir apparent to the throne of France was known as the dauphin, which is French for dolphin. Louis -- also known as "le Grand Dauphin" because he was a rather large gentleman -- had a role in the War of the Spanish Succession.

HA! HA! This game isn't about the beloved 1960's era TV dolphin. Made you look!

Didn't they use porpoises to keep track of the laps during that exciting chariot race sequence?

Disco Dolphins?!? The object is to shoot marbles in their mouths as they rotated by. Just be glad it wasn't to shoot plastic bags or balloons.

The rule book is blah but the cards look good. All kinds of things that get eaten and that eat dolphins.

I've never played this, but I know there are dolphins involved.

It's really nice to get one of the tiles that lets you move a swimmer 3 spaces; normally they can't move more than 1 space per turn. The tile is in additional to your regular movement, so a swimming pawn can cover alot of ground in a turn thanks to this tile. So much so that it is sometimes advantageous to jump overboard so you can use this on your next turn.

1983, a spinning carousel and ach player has a dolphin attached. When the tail fin is pulled and released, the dolphin catapults a ball into the carousel. The goal is to get the ball into a hole of the same color.

Latch onto a dolphin and he'll bring you safely to shore.
