The real kicker is, Apple, Samsung and all the cellphone makers are unknowingly building the first generation of replicators. Once enough units have been manufactured, they'll all activate and take over the planet.
Humans are bipedal creatures from Earth, and the third most intelligent species on that planet, surpassed only by mice and dolphins. Originally thought to have evolved from proto-apes, humans may in fact be descendants of Golgafrinchan telephone sanitizers, account executives, and marketing analysts who were tricked out of leaving their home planet to arrive on the planet Earth in two million BC.
