The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

And wow! Hey! What's this thing coming towards me very fast? Very very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding word like... ow... ound... round... ground! That's it! That's a good name - ground! I wonder if it will be friends with me?
Douglas Adams

I don't know how many of you are Douglas Adams fans, but he is a fantastically hilarious author. I am especially fond of his four part trilogy, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"

Have you seen the latest film?

Ooooh my favourite people like THGTTG and I didn't know!!!
I too laughed and laughed, Tab, in fact I laugh when I read random quotes.
Thomas, why have I never seen this shirt? And will you give it to me???
Ramona, I did see the film. I thought it was a very cursory adaptation and Zaphoid's head coming out of his neck thing didn't work for me. I still think the wacky BBC production is campy and great.
Have any of you read the Dirk Gently detective series--also very funny.

Oh, and Ramona...this one is for Thomas:
"You think you've got problems," said Marvin as if he was addressing a newly occupied coffin.
