Brilliant way of taking care of translations problems... plus I get a kick out of picturing everyone in the civilized galaxy with fish down their aural tract.

I think my fave moment was how the babel fish disproved the existance of God!

I agree, Sir Mort. That whole Babel Fish section is really very clever - classic DNA.
My other favourite bit is the section about flying. I remember the first time I read it - I think it's in Life the Universe and Everything - and laughing out load on the train
