   That probe from Star Trek IV is going to be quite disappointed, I fear.

   Don't you see?! The probe provided the bass line for the barbershop quartet!!

   Ahh… "Wub-wub-wub-wub-etc." E^) Adequate bass, indeed!

   You know, the sound developers' initial probe sound was rejected and they were told a probe should go "wub-wub-wub," so they literally did that into a mic and just tweaked the sound. Amazing, no?

   By the way, does the 2012 date of this discovery have any relation to the Mayan-predicted apocalypse?

   I did not know that. I've recently heard a sound as I was out and about that was very much akin to that probe but I can't recall exactly what it was at the moment.

   Making weird noises – sounds like a fun job!

   Actually I believe that song's been translated into ALL of the major cetacean dialects.

    And since it is proven that there is no intelligent life on Earth, the Vogons arrive to eradicate it. Crow, I really enjoy your work and would like to thank Torg for recommending it.

        And yet, they’re only the second most intelligent lifeform on Earth (humans being the third).

        Thanks for all the fish (comics)!
