Quote of the Day: February 23, 2007

“Man has always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much ­— the wheel, New York, wars and so on — while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed they were far more intelligent than man — for precisely the same reason.”

— Douglas Adams
