Penguins.......or the Babel Fish. If you aren't sure what the Babel Fish is, I suggest you begin reading the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. It's a five-part trilogy (yes, you read that right. Don't question it. It's what it is. "The increasingly inaccurately named trilogy") The Babel Fish is worn in the ear and feeds off brain-wave energies of the surrounding populous. The resulting effect of this wholly bizarre little fish is that it renders the wearer instantly capable of understanding anything said to it in any language. However, by removing all language barriers, the Babel Fish has been responsible for more and bloodier wars than anything in history. Consequently, the disgustingly useful nature of the Babel Fish has been seen as a final nail in the coffin of evolution, and the final proof for the non-existence of God. The argument goes like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God. "For proof denies faith and without faith I am nothing." "But the Babel Fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it?" says man. "It couldn't have possibly evolved by chance. It prooves you exist, and so, therefore, you don't. QED." "Oh," says God. "I hadn't thought of that." and promptly disappears in a puff of logic. "Oh that was easy," says man. He goes on to prove that black is white and gets killed at the next zebra crossing. All paraphrased from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. I think the Babel Fish should be our national symbol.

According to the campy B-movie quality TV show that came out featuring the first few books in the H2G2 series, the Babelfish looks like a lemon-yellow guppy with a suction cup for a mouth. It's plastic and wiggles a lot. lol. At least the one used in the show was plastic and wiggled.

Z!!!!!!!!!
Did you hear that they're coming out with a new H2G2 movie!?
Their choice of actor to portray Arthur Dent as in the late Dent Arthur Dent disappointed me. I forget who they said was playing him, but I remember I was severely disappointed.
