- Mice are the second most intelligent species on Earth, making Man
- the third. The dolphins are the most intelligent species. They left
- the earth before the vogons arrived - they're final message being
- "So long and thanks for all the fish"
-
- The mice were furious when the vogons destroyed the earth 5 minutes
- too early as it hadn't run it's course to find the Ultimate Question -
- hence the Earth Mark II needing to be built.
-
- As to the question, mice are more socially acceptable - hence Arthur's initial
- comparison to 'women screaming on tables in 1960s sitcoms' when Slartibartfast
- introduced the idea on Magrathea...
-
- Rats tend to be thought of as vermin. And rabbits, well they'd overrun the
- place!!!!!!!!!!! So it was the mice who created the Earth, etc....
