I hope I don't end up doing this every day, but we're doing figurative language (specifically irony, understatement, overstatement, paradox), in English, and I just cannot help sharing this one.

"That they were able to do it is proof that highly
Intelligent beings must have been living there."

--John Hall Wheelock

That is all.
