Machine to enable people to read "dolphin language"

An acoustics engineer named John Stuart Reid, who lives in St John’s-in-the-Vale, UK, is creating a machine he claims will enable people to "read" what he calls the "dolphin language." The gadget is called the Cymascope, and it converts the sounds dolphins make when communicating with each other into images, which can then be mapped into a dictionary of sorts, then later "read" by people trying to understand what all that dolphin chatter is about.

Am I the only one who remembers Seaquest DSV. The old Scifi TV Series with the superlarge submarine. They had a dolphin in it called Darwin, which could talk to people using a machine. Maybe this is the first step toward that future?

I think it will pretty much ammount to, "I want fish. I want sex. Let's ride the bow wave of that boat." Sorry, I don't think they can answer all of life's mysterys for us..... a biiiiig waste of time, money, and talent. Time to move on to what dogs are saying losers!
