  He will indeed be at the Brattle on the 20 (tuesday) to read _MH_.
Tix were available at 8:30 am today (tues 6) and were totally gone by
10am. (tho' HRSFA's en masse ticket getting may have helped a bit:)  Drop

Ah, but Arthur pulled _ALL_LETTERS_ out of the towel, didn't he? But then, I
expect it would be too much for most people to be able to remember the exact 
distribution of letters in a Scrabble set after so much travelling in time and
spece.

Actually, the truth is that Deep Thought (and Douglas Adams) knew that a
sequel to the movie _Terminator_ would be made, and called _T 2_.
Of course, it's subtitle is Judgment Day.
The Ultimate answer is really "For Judgment Day", but Deep Thought made a
joke and said it was "For _T 2_"

As I pointed out, it is SAID "Forty-two".

It could conceivably be written in many ways:

For _T2_ (my personal favorite)
For tea two (perhaps Deep Thought's verbal circuits were lacking and he meant
	     "Tea for two"?)

Or anything else made up of
(Four, for),(T, tea, tee),(2, too, two, to)

Okay guys, canonical response here.  The book itself says...

	"They piled together all the remaining letters and dropped them into

This was after the caveman had spelled "Forty-Two" and Arthur had spelled
"SHIT."  So, Arthur probably did remember wrong, but he by no means created
 a scrabble set that can only spell "What do you get if you multiply six by
 nine" as some people are insisting."

Question 1:
No, I sincerely doubt they would lay down any quid revamping a series
very nearly two decades old. What you were hearing, without any doubt,
was the original radio play that started it all. You see,

In the beginning there was:
  The radio series
  The book trilogy
  The television series
  The "fourth book in the Hitchkiker Trilogy"
  The (text) computer game (by Infocom) (a classic, as far as I'm concerned)
   (which also , by the way, has about as much resemblance to

  Opinions? Questions? Comments? Rebuttals? Nosebleeds? Indifference? Apathy?
   Neglect? Flames?

  By the way, feel free to correct me on the above chronology.

You've never seen the 120-point headline: "LINDBERGH BABY KIDNAPED"?

It's precisely the same American rule that makes `canceled', `traveled',
`edited', etc.

What we really need is go back to the archaic apostrophes: kidnap'd ...
That would be perfectly clear.  I guess it was Noah Webster's idea to
invent the rule about only doubling the consonants if they're on a
stressed syllable.  In some cases, like `kidnaped', common use these days
has fallen away to the point that some recent dictionaries will list
it primarily with a double-P.  A similar thing has happened to other words,
like `cooky'.

And don't go putting it down as `progess' of the language -- any changes
made by ignorance cannot be called progress.  But, to show the other side
of the arguments: Why should we have listened to Webster?  Most of his
changes were to set down new spellings and pronunciations based on the
way the common -- read `ignorant' -- person spoke.  In the case of `cooky':
While `cookie' evolved from people always seeing the plural `cookies' and
not properly thinking when they wanted to use the singular form, `cookie'
actually is closer to the Dutch word `koekje' from which it came.

(Then again, the Dutch name `Luyendijk' we spell in English with a Y where
 the J is: `Luyendyk'.  So `cooky' probably is consistent with other words
 taken from Dutch.)

As a disclaimer of all this apparent frivolity: Remember, it is my profession,
so I rather am obliged to rant, aren't I?  No?  Hmph.  Stick to your numbers,
then!  You can have 'em!  Heh!

You forgot the two records.

Speaking of which, I've always been meaning to ask but keep forgetting to.

In the second record, "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe," there is
a group of reptilian singers at the restaurant.  Can anyone transcribe the
words of their song for us?  I've heard the records only twice (the `record'
version also is available on tape), and no longer can remember the song, but
have wanted to.

(Or maybe it was only one reptilian singer... I don't remember.  Actually, he
 may not have been reptilian, but the woman he sings about is, as I recall.)

I thought that the set was made by Arthur by writing a bunch of letters on
pebbles.  I seriously doubt that Arthur would have duplicated the

  Hello, all.  Douglas Adams is one of my all-time favorites!  I'm
currently reading LDTTS (yeah, I'm just getting around to it) and I'm
wondering when's the next book expected from him?!  Is he still writing??
  Has any one else ever seen the television version of HGTG that aired
on PBS like 10 years ago?!  That thing was pretty funny, wish it would
air again so I could tape it. Well, I'm outta here...

Well, Amy; it appears that we the naive aren't going to get any answers
here.  The question is:  Is someone brave enough to post a query to alt.sex?
