Official transcript

Dilbert helps Dogbert onto a rock as he says, "It's amazing that people believe in astrology . . . As if the stars could affect your personality."

Dogbert replies, "Well, seasonal differences in diet, sunlight and natural rhythms could affect expectant mothers, which could have predictable results on fetal brain development."

Dogbert continues, "Maybe the ancients simply used the stars to measure the timing of these patterns."

Dilbert asks, "If they were so smart, why didn't they invent watches?"
