Babel Fish Mugs

Hope you like it.

The Babel fish is small, yellow, leech-like, and probably the oddest thing in the universe. It feeds on brain wave energy, absorbing all unconscious frequencies and then excreting telepathically a matrix formed from the conscious frequencies and nerve signals picked up from the speech centres of the brain, the practical upshot of which is that if you stick one in your ear, you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language, as said in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

THE BABEL FISH IS SMALL, YELLOW, LEEHLIKE, AND PROBABLY THE ODDEST THING IN THE UNIVERSE.

Small, yellow, leech-like, and probably the oddest thing in the universe... THE BABEL FISH! Translating for you sentences that you would never like to understand, like: “Your planet is scheduled for demolition” and “Oh my God, we are headed into the Sun”! Warning: it may also translate terrible Vogon poetry.

Small, Yellow, Leechlike.

What to prove would be Quad erat demonstrandum. In the text to the legendary Babel Fish Douglas Adams or God himself gives the evidence that it can not exist. QED Babel Fish is a purposely simple design in the otherwise familiar abbreviation Qed from the Euclid textbook, which would be to prove and is such an ideal gift for all nerd geeks mathematician physicists atheists and friends of fantastic science fiction.

“But the plans were on display…” “On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.” “That’s the display department.” “With a flashlight.” “Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.” “So had the stairs.” “But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?” “Yes,” said Arthur, “Yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”

My Babel Fish does not Translate Stupid

If there's one thing that The Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy has taught me, it's that the Babel Fish is probably the oddest thing in the universe. Well and that the Earth is mostly harmless... And that dolphins are far more intelligent than we thought... Oh, and that the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is the best drink in existence... And not forgetting that a towel is the most massively useful thing a hitch hiker can carry.
