Comment about Douglas Adams on Dcotor Who.  Dougie, old boy, you are a creep.

You write 3 of the best Doctor Who scripts, 'the Pirate Palnet', 'The City of
death", and "Shada" and you have NOT novelized them !!  You nut, don't you
realize how much money you can make?  DW fans and your personal fans would go
bonkers if those books made it to market!!

On second thought, maybe you are waiting for the right time.  Don't wait to
long.  The Almighty God awaits you any day.

Dave, put 2 and 2 together: you must not be the average fan. How come you think
everybody thinks like you do? I guess people who liked Hitchhiker watch Adams'
Doctor Who stories just because he wrote it...? I like Adams' work, but I don't
worship the guy.

From the FAQ:

--begin
19. What's the new book?

    The latest info was posted by jens@seas.gwu.edu (Jens Johansen)
    and reads:

    OK, netters, here it is...

    The new book--Mostly Harmless--will be out officially in the US in
    early November, or so promise the distributor/publisher, Crown
    (not to be confused with Crown Books, the book shop chain who
    DIDN'T supply this info).  According to the nice lady in the
    bookshop, that means that one can start looking for it in late
    October, as most books they get seem to start shipping in a week
    or two before official release dates.

    The cover looks pretty predictable--it still has our friend, the
    green planet, making a face at you, and a few other things.  Well,
    I don't know if he's still green--I only saw a black and white
    picture of the cover.

    Now, in times past, Douglas Adams' books got into the UK bookshops
    a couple of months before they did in the US, so there's a
    sporting chance that the book will be in the shops in the next
    month or two there.  So if anyone sees it over there, please read
    it and let us know how it is...

    Jens

From what I've read, it hardly features Arthur at all; it's about his
daughter, Random.  It's already way overdue (I believe the announcement
above was meant to announce its release *last year* :-).

No, no, no, the Vogons were working for Gag Halfrunt, Zaphod's psychiatrist,
who was worried that the Earth by its very unusual nature would, upon providing
the Ultimate Question, make his profession obsolete.  It's in the first book.

Ah, didn't think about him.. good choice though.. what do you think about 
my choice for Trillian?  I think she'd do perfectly.. Imagine when they 
are orbiting Magrathea in HHG?  And when Arthur turns around a looks at 
her and shrugs, can't you just see her pretty face doing it?  Hehe..=)

The Milliways principle is one of the most ingenious inventions of the banking
industry, second only to compounding interest, free toasters with a new
account, and those little windows that close when someone wanting money
approaches (this latter invention has totally revolutionized life on Al-Deneb
VI, where it is considered extremely rude to refuse to lend a friend a few
Altairian dollars -- even if the ungrateful bastard has already touched you
fifty times in the past week for more than your annual income and has no job
and no prospect of getting a job because no employer will see him because
they're afraid he'll ask for a seven-year advance in his salary even tho' he
hasn't been hired yet and they'll be forced to give it to him because it would
be rude not to -- on Al-Deneb VI they carry these windows around in front of
them wherever they go -- it saves them a lot of money -- even taking into
account the royalties they pay to the banks).

     The Milliways principle is named for Milliways restaurant.  In order to
pay the outrageous rates that eatery charges, the patrons deposit one penny in
a bank in their own time period.  The tab is paid from the interest built up
over the trillions of years that penny sits in the bank.  When Milliways comes
to collect, the bank charges a service fee amounting to several percent of the
charge -- usually just enough to empty out the account.  Both the bank and the
restaurant then use TFT (Temporal Funds Transfer) to take their profit back to
some time when there were still things to buy with their fabulous wealth.

     (OK, so when you count them up, the Milliways principle is the fifth most
ingenious idea that the banking industry has come up with.  I never claimed to
be very good at this counting stuff.  On my accountant's advice I leave that to
her.)

I always thought that Arthur and Trillian had the daughter *before* the
4th book (ie, earlier in their lives, not necessarily earlier in time).
Somewhere in "LTU&E", I think. DA tells us in SL&T4ATF, that he has not
told us everything in the books before. He even writes about having let
out aomething about Arthur and Trillian.

Howard mentioned yesterday that it has always been a dream of his to
be on in Boston since his in-laws are all from that area. He claims
that since the only time they ever see him is when his tv show is
aired on some crummy station in Boston, they all think he's a
loser. He also said that he really only cares about being on in areas
where he has family so that he can show off to them.

Howard did mention that Infinity purchased new stations in Boston. He
said that they had been thinking about putting him on, but they are
afraid that their top area morning guy now (presumably Charles
Laquadara (sp?)) couldn't handle it. He said that for this reason,
Infinity currently had no plans to put him on in the Boston area.

I remember the great routines Howard went through when he was trying to
conceive his second daughter, Deborah.  He was on WNBC still at that time, and
he would go on about how he would be doing it with his wife that night to
try for another kid.  So, for three days before that, he couldn't masturbate
and had to wear baggy pants and boxer shorts to have healthy sperm.  It was
really funny stuff.  But, all the listeners were in on it.  This time I guess
Howard didn't mention the whole process for his third kid.  He should have had
Allison on top.  I heard that's one way of increasing the odds for a boy.  He
could have done a whole routine on that this time around.
