This weird humming and ringing must be what it is like for a Babel Fish to be in one’s ear.
For those of you who do not know what a Babel Fish is….
“The Babel Fish is small, yellow, leech-like, and is a universal translator which simultaneously translates from one spoken language to another. It takes the brainwaves of the other body and what they are thinking then transmits the thoughts to the speech centers of the hosts brain, the speech heard by the ear decodes the brainwave matrix. When inserted into the ear, its nutrition processes convert sound waves into brain waves, neatly crossing the language divide between any species you should happen to meet whilst traveling in space. Meanwhile, the poor Babel fish, by effectively removing all barriers to communication between different races and cultures, has caused more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation.[1] Arthur Dent, a surviving Earthling, commented only 'Eurgh!' when first inserting the fish into his ear canal. It did, however, enable him to understand Vogon Poetry - not necessarily a good thing. The book points out that the Babel Fish could not possibly have developed naturally, and therefore proves the existence of God as its creator. However, as Man points out, God needs faith to exist, and this proof dispels the need for faith, therefore causing God to vanish in a puff of logic. Then Man says, "my, that was easy" and goes on to prove that black is white, and gets killed on the next zebra crossing.”
Of course my Babel Fish only deafens my perception of the world and enhances the screaming in my own mind, I wonder if one needs to put such a device in one ear only then how come I can only hear the screaming louder in one ear….
Either way...I will follow the cardinal rules;
I will Bring a Towel
I will grab my copy of the HGTTG
And Lastly...and Most Importantly.....
DON'T PANIC
of course, one can always hope that it is neither the end of the world, and we can hope that the loud banging sound is....
damned it is an alien space craft
and here I thought I just had an ear infection...
