There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened. #HitchhikersGuide #DouglasAdams #quotes #quote #bot

I decided I would like to learn Italian, but I really didn't get on with the apps, first Duolingo (rather childish and with the whole annoying gamification thing) and then Busuu (much better, but still not for me). Then I came upon the comprehensible input thing. I tried an Italian comic (Sempre più grande Gaston), which was fun. Now it's time for a bigger project. And what would be better than one of my all-time favourites? #italian #gaston #guust #HHGTTG #douglasAdams #42 #duolingo #busuu

@DrALJONES@mastodon.social Sorry 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! #HHGTTG #hitchhikersguidetothegalaxy #DouglasAdams #HitchhikersGuide

(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." #HitchhikersGuide #DouglasAdams #quotes #quote #bot

Grown men, he told himself, in flat contradiction of centuries of accumulated evidence about the way grown men behave, do not behave like this. #HitchhikersGuide #DouglasAdams #quotes #quote #bot

A towel ... is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitch hiker can have Any man that can hitch the length and breadth of the Galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through and still know where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with. #HitchhikersGuide #DouglasAdams #quotes #quote #bot

Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was Oh no, not again. 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. #HitchhikersGuide #DouglasAdams #quotes #quote #bot

"Concentrate," hissed Zaphod, "on his name." "What is it?" asked Arthur. "Zaphod Beeblebrox the Fourth." "What?" "Zaphod Beeblebrox the Fourth. Concentrate!" "The Fourth?" "Yeah. Listen, I'm Zaphod Beeblebrox, my father was Zaphod Beeblebrox the Second, my grandfather Zaphod Beeblebrox the Third..." "What?" "There was an accident with a contraceptive and a time machine. Now concentrate!" #HitchhikersGuide #DouglasAdams #quotes #quote #bot

The thing they wouldn't be expecting him to do was to be there in the first place. Only an absolute idiot would be sitting where he was, so he was winning already. A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. #HitchhikersGuide #DouglasAdams #quotes #quote #bot

The President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it. #HitchhikersGuide #DouglasAdams #quotes #quote #bot

The story so far: In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. #HitchhikersGuide #DouglasAdams #quotes #quote #bot
