Not that we're better than the Sea Monkey because, quite obviously the Sea Monkey is a glorious thing, in and of itself. But I think what makes us special is that we represent the Universe becoming sentient--aware of itself. Raw math and physics manifesting into more than just math and physics. I can't help being just a little bloody pleased with that....arrogant as it is.

...but this is supposed to be about Sea Monkeys, isn't it. Damn self-absorbed humans. Thinking it's all about them...typical.
We may be the first creatures to discover things like math and science and write them down, but....how can we even go as far as to say that. We can't read the minds and the thoughts of the animals around us. They communicate in there own ways that we have yet to figure out and probably never will. Monkeys and dolphins are very well developed creatures that have shown many scientists may great things about how advanced they really are mentally. Not only that as Inferius referenced we know very little about our universe and what else is even out there. For all we know we could be one of the simplest groups of mentally heirachial dominate creatures in the universal. It is just very presumptus to say that we are the most advanced creature in the universe when we know so little.
