It feeds on brainwave energy received not from it's own carrier but from those around it. It absorbs all unconscious mental frequencies from this brainwave energy to nourish itself with. It then excretes into the mind of its carrier a telepathic matrix formed by combining the conscious though frequencies with nerve signals picked up from the speech centers of the brain which has supplied them. The practical upshot of all this is that if you stick a Babel Fish in your ear you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language. The speech patterns you actually hear decode the brainwave matrix which has been fed into your mind by your Babel Fish. 115 The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Other Quotes Quotes The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy: Here is what to do if you want to get a lift from a Vogon: forget it.
