    What, if the zeeh-factory just empowers instincts, while the knowledge of language remains and functions as kind of a "corrective", if an Alpha-zeeh commands the lower-grade zeehs? Actually we know that them zeehs understand (core-)language to some degree. But it is obvious that they don't listen to anyone and that they are not pretty fond of using language as means of organization, 'cause the instinctive behaviour serves their purposes well enough ...

    Hm, I wonder if this would mean that a deaf-mute zombie is only a second-class zombie.
    By the way, cool stuff!

    Everyone? So why, my dear Sir, I would not belong to everyone then?
    Also answer this particular small question: if the last of its kind was killed or destroyed, wouldn't the Hitchhiker's Guide refer to it in past tense rather instead of the present tense?
    Also: The Hitchhiker'S Guide is all about things happening after the world we live hin was destroyed, which actually has not occured yet, has it? Thus the events in "Stavro Mueller's Beta"-club are something to happen sometime imporbable time in the future, which also means: there still exist the Babel Fishes ...

    Well in an infinite universe, everything does and most likely has already happened so often that the unusual, queer or impossible probably occurs so often that they are downright commonplace.

    Edit: An example would be the phenomenon of birds suddenly appearing every time you are near. Many philosophers have asked "why" in regards to the aforementioned phenomena, in both song and verse.

    Then this means that the Babel Fish remains in existance in an infinite universe although it is supposed to be extinct ... Right?
