Haha, that's an excellent way of putting it. Kudos to the Pythons.

I found some stuff on that M-theory ninja mentioned:

The smart-people explanation
The dumbed-down version

I found even the second one hard to follow.

As interesting and fun it is to think about this kind of stuff, I find it sort of irrelevant. I don't think it really matters where we came from or how things came to be or how long they've been here, because the fact is that they exist now. I think right now we need to focus on curing diseases and ending war and poverty and famine. Once all that's taken care of, then we can try and figure all this stuff out.
