I like Phil.
So you're a photographer. You're down in Florida, waiting for the space shuttle to take off so you can take some really cool but (hopefully) pretty standard pictures of the launch. Meanwhile, you're bored. And the Associated Press takes care of film costs. What do you do?
Well, you take pictures of anything you can. Maybe the beach. Or some tourists. Or a boat. Or a porpoise.
You end up with a really cool picture of a porpoise with a fish in its mouth. So what do you do? You publish it ... as a space shuttle story!
Very odd.
Oh, and I used this image without permission. Sorry, Phil. If the AP asks me to take it down, well, that'd just be funny.

As scientist and engineers anxiously follow the countdown for the launch of Space Shuttle Mission STS114 Monday, July 25, 2005 a porpoise leaps out of the water as he holds on to his catch of fish as he feeds in the Indian River in Titusville, Fla. The Space Shuttle is scheduled to launch Tuesday after a delay caused by a faulty fuel sensor. (AP Photo/Phil Sandlin)

That's awesome that they did that!
Also, it's a great picture. I can understand that if you get a shot that cool, you have to find some way to get it in print.
