Actually, 111 ('Nelson') is England's unlucky number at cricket. The number
is called Nelson for one eye, one arm and one ambition. Australia's unlucky
number at cricket is 87 which has the more mundane explanation of being 13
short of a century.

Speaking of the 42 debate...

There's a million explanations for the 42 thing. I've never met DNA, so I have
no idea if he's the sort of person to do this, but one explanation I've heard 
revolves around the meanings of "a 69" and "a 42". Decorum prevents me from
telling more, but let's just say that followups should be posted to alt.sex.

I don't need a transcript, for I do own "The Original Radio Scripts".
About the bandwidth involved, I don't think that should be a problem.
First, I don't think it's really that much data 
(Assuming telephone quality and 5 mins: 8kb/s * 5 min = 8*5*60 KB
= 2400KB raw data, compressed maybe 1.8 MB) oops, you're right, it
is quite a bit. Definitely too much to post here. But what about
posting it in the alt.binaries.* hierarchie (isn't there a a.b.sounds
group ? ) Considering all the MB which flow through a.b.p.* there
should be no trouble with 2 megs in a.b.s. All those poorly connected
sites which could have problems dealing with it surely don't get
the alt.binaries.* hierarchy.

(If that fails too could you make it available via ftp, or upload
it on our ftp-server ftp.cosy.sbg.ac.at. [currently down, up again soon] ?)

Okay, as far as I can remember, the song went something like this:

	Are to me...
	I mean through all eternity!
	Your glistening scales of green! 
	I don't know where they've been!

If you have trouble making this work, you might want to know that you
also need to, at this point (and at this point ONLY, as it'll only
work once), plug the plotter plug (big or little, I can't remember)
into the receptacle on Eddie the Shipboard Computer's console.  This
will link the entire ship + game into the Improbability Drive, so that
the missiles will turn into the requisite whale and pot of petunias,
and it will also give the Nutrimat that last little leap of intuition
required in making real tea.  After that, make sure it's unplugged and
use the real tea as the Brownian motion source, and you not only get
to control where/when you go, but you get to all sorts of neat new
places!

I don't think the defferences between the English and American versions
of the Guide are too many that they cannot be considered as an
excerpt: so, it should be legal to post it.
