A funny excerpt from a Douglas Adams book

[Deleted member 264575]

"Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space."

I got the DVDs of the TV show for CHristmas--made me smile--Looking forward to a Hithchiker's marathon later

i loved those books as a kid - still do! it's funny, i enjoyed the Disaster Area descriptions long before i got into playing music... i think there was some subconscious desire to play through really big speakers

(though my current rig is tiny... 10-year-old me would be disappointed...)

Always bring a towel. And don't panic.

i've definitely used a towel to sleep under at least once while on tour. Douglas Adams was right!

Here I am, brain the size of a planet and they ask me to take you down to the bridge. Call that job satisfaction? 'Cos I don't.

Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the universe than we do now.

(Later, it is revealed why the bowl of petunias had that thought.)

Yeah, and it was perfectly improbable.
