	Freaky Babelfish!
Hoa dude_dude Mega Fish Posts: 957 Kudos: 888 Votes: 72 Registered: 28-Dec-2004	A Babel fish is a highly improbable biological universal translator. It appears as a "small, yellow and leechlike" fish. When a Babel fish is inserted into the ear canal it allows the 'wearer' to "instantly understand anything said... in any form of language." This was both a useful plot device for Adams, who wrote on the subject that he always found the ability of all aliens to speak English very strange; and also the starting point for a joke about the existence of God.

whetu Mega Fish Posts: 900 Votes: 63 Registered: 31-Jan-2003	yes, that's Maori. I said "there is/that is the little talking fish." (Ai, tera te ika iti korero.) If you'd had a babelfish in your ear you'd have known that! ah,hha kote kupukorrro oto mata kura te kI ete whelihi e tu ki runga! (dunno if thats maori) I dunno if that's Maori either... some words could be ... other words definitely aren't... and the sentence doesn't make sense :%) Where did you get it from?
