👾 Attila Gondawent to a Thalia bookshop today and saw an "111 Places in Space That You Must Not Miss" from @markmccaughrean, and I had flipped to number 42 to check if the author had the same idea as me, and yes:
it's Betelgeuse 😊

Remembering, and really feeling that bit from Douglas Adam's "Life The Universe and Everything" :
He had just had a wonderful idea about how to cope... ... He stood up straight and looked the world squarely in the fields and hills. To add weight to his words he stuck the rabbit bone in his hair. He spread his arms out wide.
‘I will go mad!’ he announced.
‘Good idea,’ said Ford Prefect....

Naturally, I suffered through the beverage for reasons of #hitchhikersguidetothegalaxy fandom. #HHGTTG
CockneyLaurieSorry to say but the older I get the more I think that Douglas got the passengers for the Golgafrincham Ark Fleet, Ship B wrong....
Cos while it might be nice to get rid of the useless part of the population, at least they didn't hurt the rest of us. Far better to get rid of the super rich and the super ambitious and the dictators!

Oft zitiert, aber eigentlich habe ich keine Ahnung.
Lohnt es sich da mal etwas nachzuholen?
Schaff ich die 5 Bücher als einer der im Urlaub mal ein Buch liest, und selbst das oft nicht durch bekommt?
Taugt der Film was?
Deutsch oder Englisch?
iNecasWe will be restoring normality just as soon as we are sure what is normal anyway.
Matt Simpson"Trillian did a little research in the ship's copy of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It had some advice to offer on drunkenness. 'Go to it,' it said, 'and good luck.'" #hitchhikersguidetothegalaxy #bali #vacation
I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:
1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.
