Hitchhiker's Guide Quote BotHe had found a Nutri-Matic machine which had provided him with a plastic cup filled with a liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.
[Zaphod] sat up sharply and started to pull clothes on. He decided that there must be someone in the Universe feeling more wretched, miserable and forsaken than himself, and he determined to set out and find him.
Halfway to the bridge it occurred to him that it might be Marvin, and he returned to bed.
"Temporal reverse engineering."
Arthur put his head in his hands and shook it gently from side to side.
"Is there any humane way," he moaned, "in which I can prevent you from telling me what temporary reverse bloody-whatsiting is?"
"The first ten million years were the worst," said Marvin, "and the second ten million years, they were the worst too. The third ten million years I didn't enjoy at all. After that I went into a bit of a decline."
(Ford) "you'd better be prepared for the jump into hyperspace. It's unpleasantly like being drunk."
(Arthur) "What's so unpleasant about being drunk?"
(Ford) "Ask a glass of water."
the notorious gztokay, so I've now watched Dirk Gently (2016) and Dirk Gently (2010), the former being two seasons of big budget indulgent modern fantasy and the latter being 4 episodes of old-fashioned BBC. Both kind of fun, but understandable why neither continued. #tv #dirkgently #douglasadams
Bird: Look, this is utterly ludicrous!
leeleedeeI just told my kids (in a long winded and overly dramatic manner) the story of the supercomputer, Deep Thought. How it was set the monumental task of answering the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything, and that after eons of calculations it finally returned the answer:
42.
Kids were looking at me like I was a nutbag, and rolling their eyes.
Then I asked them....
"What's 6x7?"
They lost their goddam shit, and left for school giggling their heads off about it.
Gotta love that the classics can be integrated into #GenAlpha #BrainRot , and it at least enouraged the eldest to briefly consider reading the books 🤣😄

"We all like to congregate... at boundary conditions. Where land meets water. Where earth meets air. Where body meets mind. Where time meets space. We like to be on one side, and look at the other."
"The chances of finding out what really is going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say hang the sense of it and keep yourself occupied ... Look at me: I design coastlines. I got an award for Norway."
