The Final Proof of the non-Existence of God was proved by a Babel Fish.

Now, it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mind-bogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some have chosen to see it as the final proof of the NON-existence of God. The argument goes something like this:

"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 that 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.

"Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.

I do so like Terry Pratchett.

I read these exact lines only two days ago :p Mr Adams is quite a genius, there are so many things I would like to quote, I might as well copy-paste the whole series.

If you wear sock suspenders you have to have a shabby stuffed cat, a once live cat, whom you talk to in a high pitched nancy man voice...and spot on, no lovin', just you, your suspenders and Felix....plus an Iwasaki Western. It doesn't sound so bad right now.

I have bad cat allergies, that would be suicide. I'd have to have a taxidermy Fido.

What did you hang with the last one?

I feel we are all witness to a life-changing event: the birth of a new species.
The homo offtopicus.
Some of his characteristics:
- is very fond of hobby's that seems strange to others.
- may be serious, but only in extreme circumstances and only for a few seconds.(thirds may also be possible)
- has an explenation for everything.
- is attracted by others of his kind and they group up in the most strange places.
- a straight answer is possible, maybe with an edge but also an answer with a double edge.
- might carry an infectious virus such as: RAD, SAD, HAD, BAD,...

If you have any experience in meeting one of these feel free to add more information.
When encountering one in the future, If you feel uncertain in his proximity, look down and slowly walk away.
But if you seem to like him, you're one as well, so get the party started. :beer1:

That is for sure one of the greatest wisdoms i've ever read. Hitchhiker by Adams is one of the great ones.

Nothing, I will have it as a pet.

That reminds me about a story involving a charter boat, six minnows and a bucket of fresh-mown grass...

Are you talking about smoking pot with your cat?

No, you need to follow the conversation from the start, we are talking about the fact that if you wear sock suspenders you need a taxidermied cat that has been coated in matte varnish to stop you being allergic to it.

Not if it was a short haired cat.

Or if you become a cat Guy you'd need 30 taxidermy felines....and a bottle of ammonia for Cologne.

I looked up hairless cat pictures and found this......

Smuggles!!! How the hell did you manage to find a picture of my cat online!!!

If I can call you ed...I'd say go in the direction that the horse is carrying you. You have a big fan base here ed, say, where did you get that weird looking avatar?

short haired cats are worse for allergies because the hair floats around the place rather than settling quickly

It may be possible for your short haired cat to have dreads and smoke...
