When I heard the learn’d astronomer; When the proofs, the figures, were arranged in Auto-tune before me; When I heard the sequencer pump out digital cheese-synth; When I, sitting, heard the astronomer yodel to an audience enraptured, Their hands clutching hearts, eyes a-mist, lips a-quiver, How soon, unaccountable, I became nauseous; Till rising and gliding out, I wander’d off by myself, In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time, laughed until I soiled a perfectly good pair of trousers.
@Krikkit - the idea is brain size relative to body size. Our brains are (relatively) bigger than elephants' brains. Don't ask me why relative brain/body size is supposed to be important - it's just how the story goes.
@Gutza - Wrong. That line is used in movies because of its appearance in the motion picture The Wizard of Oz starring Judy Garland. If you are still confused, try closing Wikipedia. If that doesn't work, try opening Baum.

In March of 1993 Art read the Random House Dictionary of the English Language. I think we should give him the benefit of the doubt and say he just a liar.
@ JBSpesh - Anyone who thinks you can define the first rock-and-roll song needs to wash their hands before operating in order to avoid spreading infections. ;)
