I read this somewhere, can't remember where.
A group of scientists visits a far-off planet. Everything is a wasteland. In the middle of the desert, they see a large statue of an apparently human male, sitting with one hand on the head and elbow on knee. They are struck by it's similarity to Rodin's "The Thinker."
They examine the statue, probe, poke, scan. All to no avail.
Suddenly, the statue stands, exclaims "I THINK, THEREFORE I AM" and sits back down.
One of the scientists says "I get it! It only stands to reason!"
