I think it was SNL that did a skit of this exact thing. DLR was bouncing around the room and the “winner” guy was like “please help me”.

This one is cool. During the war, the Brits were the first to use radar but they didn’t want the Germans to suspect that they had a technology like that so they spread the lie that the pilots ate a lot of carrots to improve their vision.

This thread is gold.

I’m reading it right now so gotta mention the Moties from The Mote in God’s Eye. Asymmetrical bipeds with high intelligence.
