Peter Jones (The Book) #Ideas#Literature Nov 28 2007 Your plastic pal From: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (vinyl) The Encyclopedia Galactica defines a robot as a mechanical apparatus designed to do the work of a man. The Marketing Division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation defines a robot as 'your plastic pal who's fun to be with.' The Hichhiker's Guide To The Galaxy defines the Marketing Division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as 'a bunch of mindless jerks who will be the first against the wall when the Revolution comes.'

Life, the Universe, and Everything; there is an answer. But I'll have to think about it. Valentine Dyall (Deep Thought) #Computer#Life#Philosophy May 12 2005 The starship Heart Of Gold From: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (vinyl) Welcome to the starship Heart Of Gold. Please do not be alarmed by anything you see or hear around you. You are bound to feel some initial ill effects as you have been rescued from certain death at an improbability level of 2 to the power of 267,709:1 against, possibly much higher. We are now cruising at a level of 2 to the power of 25,000:1 against and falling, and will be restoring normality as soon as we're sure what is normal anyway. Thank you.

Richard Vernon (Slartibartfast) #Names May 04 2005 Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster From: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (vinyl) The Encyclopedia Galactica describes alcohol as a colorless, volatile liquid formed by the fermentation of sugars and also notes its intoxicating effect on certain carbon-based life forms. The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy also mentions alcohol. It says that the best drink in existence is the Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster. The effect of which is like having your brain smashed out with a slice of lemon wrapped 'round a large gold brick. The Guide also tells you on which planets the best Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters are mixed, how much you can expect to pay for one, and what voluntary organizations exist to help you rehabilitate.

Peter Jones (The Book) #Alcohol#Information May 03 2005 An important and popular fact From: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (vinyl) It it an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much: the wheel, New York, wars, and so on. But conversely, the dolphins believed themselves to be more intelligent than man for precisely the same reasons!

And I just want to mention here that we are now moving into orbit around the legendary planet of Magrathea. Sorry to interrupt your social evening. Have a good time! David Tate (Eddie the Computer) #Computer#Travel May 30 2003 The last dolphin message From: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (vinyl) The last ever dolphin message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double-backward somersault through a hoop whilst whistling the Star Spangled Banner. In fact, the message was this: So long and thanks for all the fish. Peter Jones (The Book) #Fish#Farewells#Music#Tricks#Messages Pages1 2 3 4 5 next › last »
