Closing Acts 2026 - so long and thanks for all the fish

Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much: the wheel, New York, wars, and so on, whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water, having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man... for precisely the same reasons.
