I have recently begun reading the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the geekiest piece of literature known to earthlings. Putting its overwhelming nerdiness aside, it is actually quite an interesting and utterly hilarious novel. I haven't even finished the first book (in a trilogy of 5), and Im already hooked. So I thought I would enlighten you all with a little excerpt:

'...Now it is such a bizarrley improbable coincidence that anything so mindbogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance, that some thinkers have chosen to see [the Babel fish] as a final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God.
The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Man,"the Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.'

Well I thought it was funny.
