Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than
dolphins because he had achieved so much... the wheel, New York,wars, and so on, whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muckabout in the water having a good time. But conversely the
dolphins believed themselves to be more intelligent than man for
precisely the same reasons.

"I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic

one of my all time favorite DNA quotes

"To illustrate the vain conceit that the universe must be somehow pre-ordained for us, because we are so well-suited to live in it, he [Adams] mimed a wonderfully funny imitation of a puddle of water, fitting itself snugly into a depression in the ground, the depression uncannily being exactly the same shape as the puddle."
-- Richard Dawkins, in "Lament for Douglas" (14 May 2001)

Then proceeded to close range and leather the sh*t out of the German pocket Battleship "Graf Spey" with the help of 2 other cruisers.

The Germans took a kicking and issued a bigger one sevearly damaging 1 cruiser and mauling the other 2. German Capatain decided it was a trap and made a run for it.
