Tower of Babel

The Tower of Babel by Pieter Brueghel the Elder

And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do; and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Genesis 11:1-9

Babel Fish

The Babel Fish is small, yellow, and simultaneously translates from one spoken language to another.

– The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams
