Not that I don't have a high regard for my fellow human being (well, most of them), but my own non-scientific gut feeling tells me that humans are an aberration - sort of like a pox on the planet - here merely to consume and multiply, eventually killing the host in (in our case, on) which they reside.

And I wonder why the Shady Acres rest home never invited me back to cheer up the old folks....
