It's an important and popular fact |
| [00:10.066] |
that things are not always what they seem. |
| [00:14.131] |
For instance, on the planet Earth, |
| [00:16.684] |
man had always assumed that |
| [00:18.263] |
he was the most intelligent species occupying the planet, |
| [00:21.718] |
instead of the third most intelligent. |
| [00:24.409] |
The second most intelligent creatures were of-cause dolphins. |
| [00:28.075] |
who, curiously enough, |
| [00:29.685] |
had long known of the impending destruction of the planet Earth. |
| [00:33.085] |
They'd made many attempts to alert mankind, |
| [00:36.015] |
but most of their communications were misinterpreted |
| [00:38.430] |
as amusing attempts to punch footballs or whistle for tidbits. |
| [00:42.151] |
So they eventually decided they would leave Earth by their own means. |
| [00:46.651] |
The last ever dolphin message was misinterpreted |
| [00:49.771] |
as a sophisticated attempt to do a backward somersault |
| [00:53.589] |
through a hoop, whistling the star-spangled banner. |
| [00:56.502] |
In fact, the message was this: |
| [00:58.685] |
So long and thanks for all the fish. |
