"If and when extra-terrestrials decide to communicate with sophisticated earthlings, it will probably be with humpback whales, NOT human beings."
lmao, how true is that?! I never thought about it that way, but it's probably dead on. generally, we humans think that we are so special. why, because we can build large buildings and tear them down in anger? if you think about it, the quote makes sense....the earth is almost entirely covered by water. and whales are undisputed kings of the water. they are more evolved and have (what is probably) a more complex language. why would aliens choose to communicate with us over whales?
if you ever look into the eye of a whale and feel like it knows something you don't, it's probably because the whale DOES know something you don't.

I guess that old Star Trek movie was right, then?
Can you imagine what the whales will say about us? :scared:

If you grew up loving the Hitchiker's books as much as I did you'll be sorely disappointed in the movie!!
If I'd never read the books I might like the movie ok though. It has some funny bits anyway...

I imagine the whales will tell the aliens that humans are like a giant ant hill that needs to be sprayed with a giant can a Raid. that's really what we are....pests. we've destroyed the ozone, the rain forests, the coral reefs, endangered species. we're really best at killing each other, which isn't necessarily a good quality.
