@cks@mastodon.social It seems to fit the bureaucratic stereotype that Adams was lampooning that there would not be an actual leopard, just the sign. Mandatory per regulations, of course. Just in case foolhardy visitors decided to amble in whilst not even thinking about #leopards at all. #HHGTTG

Incurably curious, always searching. Don't belong to any [collective noun], #otrovert. Windswept and interesting, to a point. Dutch by passport, European in spirit. Privacy professional by day, nerd by night. And by day, come to think of it. Interested in things like #history, #philosophy, #reading, #languages, #watches and #watchmodding, #maps and #mapping, #psychogeography, #craftbeer and #cooking. Etc. Toots mainly in English, but I also speak Dutch, German and some Polish. #fedi22

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
