I don't know about Douglas Adams, but I am a student of John Cunningham Lilly, author of several works on the dolphins he studied for a long time.

Thanks for the link. Will check it out when I have time. I thought you were being a bit humurous. Perhaps if they evolve arms or hands they might become technologically advanced enough to leave the solar system, but I will check out the site. The main problem is that the higher order species (like the dinosaurs) dont have much time considering that we are due for a large asteroid or comet hit soon. It is true though that species living within the ocean may have a beter chance at surviving the next catastrophic event, since the ocean provides a buffer from environmental extremes.
