Yet again, more proof that God doesn't exist!
--- Quote from: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy ---Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mind-bogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as a final and clinching proof of 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,' says Man, `Gears on a grasshopper are a dead giveaway, aren't they? They could not have evolved by chance. They prove 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 disappears 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.
Most leading theologians claim that this argument is a load of dingo's kidneys, but that didn't stop Oolon Colluphid making a small fortune when he used it as the central theme of his best-selling book, "Well, That about Wraps It Up for God."

I went to see a stage production of HHGG at the weekend. It had Simon Jones as Arthur Dent (the original radio actor), and Neil Gaiman as the Voice of the Book. The transfer was generally well done, including quite a lot from the later books that was not in the original radio series (1 & 2), but the timing got sloppy in the second half, which also had some songs which were a waste of time (it was the first performance of a new run). Marvin was particularly magnificent, though.

That is awesome, they not only figured out why they have these gears but also why they lose them as adults. Apparently animals have to deal with wear and tear as well!
This is a human brain.

A Jewel at the Heart of Quantum Physics
--- Quote ---Physicists have discovered a jewel-like geometric object that dramatically simplifies calculations of particle interactions and challenges the notion that space and time are fundamental components of reality.

And, on a slightly related note...
