Talking of the Footwarriors and the SHoe Event Horizon bit, how about the 
Computeach and the pupil "Can I press the button?"  'Oh all right then'  "oohh
so nice!!'  is another of the funniest bits...

And on the radio series when Marvin is at the bottom of a deep dark hole...
and eventually comes out to rescue Arthur and Lintilla...
Marvin: I've been at the bottom of a deep dark hole... I climbed out cos I was
getting to like it too much!
and later
Marvin: I suppose you want to be rescued now
(can't spell the guy's name): Yes please
Arthur: Not you

What great books/radio series/telly series!!!!!

Yes. Price is $10 and ISBN is 0-345-37198-4. The amazing thing about the

is about 1/3 as thick!

Well I always thought it was meant to stand for "Infinite Dimensions",
(ie the very first name anyone might come up with, and the vogons spent
millions on it in typical marketing fashion.) but Ford reacts when he
hears it because it sounds like the organisation is "Infinitely Dim". 
As it is.  :)

Does anyone else think that the song "And She Was" by the talking heads had
to be about Fenchurch?

Unrelated point...my brother heard from a friend that Adams seriously HATES
writing, saying that other writers SAY they hate it but only he really
means it.  The story goes that he had something like a year to write one of
the Dirk Gently books but dashed it off in the last few weeks.  Also heard
that his publishers post people outside his door to make sure he gets the
work done.  Has anyone else heard this?  We got the impression that people
were badgering him to write another HHG book so he said in effect, "You
want another one? FINE!  I'll kill them all, in all possible universes!
Here's your f---ing book!"

Apparently, the name zebra crossing comes from it's inventor, not from the black and

Hey! What everyone's failing to realise is that the _window_ isn't the
gateway to the artificial universe. The door is! Witness Roosta's message:

"When you leave this office, go through the window, not the door."

(or something like that.) And also what he (Roosta) said earlier on:

"He's got a whole different universe in his office."

Here's my point. The artificial universe is _in_ the office. The door
is the gateway between it and the real universe, so when you go through
the door, and into the office, you're in the artificial universe. The
reason for Roosta saying "go through the window" was that if Zaphod and
Marvin had gone through the door, they would have ended up back in the
_real_ universe!

Check out the cover of "Abbey Road" by the Beatles.  There's a crosswalk (zebra
crossing) oin that picture.

Incidentally, the radio program states that man goes on to be killed "at the
next PEDESTRIAN crossing."  Odd, that.

In those same scripts, DNA explains that he came to write the bit
about the shoe-event-horizon, etc. as a result of spending an
exhausting day shoe-shopping.

Has anyone noticed that in MH, Ford admits to doing the same thing?
This is revealed in the bit about Ford using his shoe to avoid
the heat-seeking missile.  He mentions that he spent a long time
looking for those shoes, and that he wrote an essay on the subject
for the Guide.  I suppose that bit was editted out, to leave just
"Mostly Harmless".  DNA's story underwent similar editting, though
the resulting text _was_ somewhat longer.

But you can know, when to stop a series. Maybe he should never have  
written 'So Long And...'. But then, I liked some parts of it (did he  
invent this cookie story, or is there a precedence?), and I enjoyed MH.  
Anyway, he should really stop now and give us other interesting things.

Actually that's not quite right, traffic is supposed to stop when there
is someone waiting to cross, however, many motorists choose to ignore
this. In France the above is true, at least it might not be in law
but the traffic certainly doesn't stop until you run out in front of
it. Englishmen can be seen waiting for hours by a French roadside
wondering why the traffic doesn't stop.

Tough if you can't read American and don't come from a culture where red means
stop! I'm sure I've also seen uncoloured signs on some really old crossings.

That's more like it.

Depending on the size of junction there can be quite a long delay
between red in one direction and red/amber in the other. ie. both
on red for a while to allow traffic to clear the junction.

Anyway I think this is a little off subject.
