h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It is an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, 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 muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man - for precisely the same reasons.

Thank you Douglas Adams for your enlightening thoughts!

I always did beleive dolphins were smarter... the different species of dolphins can get along! unlike humans who kill because they dont like a person because of their skin color or sexual status... yes i am talking about hate crimes! and dolphins dont need all we have to be satisfied... to me they are smarter than humans... want to change this? Then I think first racism should be taken care of first...

I agree

YEAH! Power to the Porpoise! forget their cousins (the whales) save the Dolphins! They are much nicer out in their natural habitat instead of trapped in a kiddy pool! Why don't they just throw them back out to see and help them readjust back to their natural habitat... it cant cost much more than it does now to keep them alive in the kiddy pool. Also, being in captivity lessens their length of life!!!

So long, and thanks... for all the fish!
