Well, let's see, It's been quite a while since I'vbe playued this game (I had
the copy for the Atari, that's how long ago it was). Have you used the tea to
run the thing, instead of the tea substitute? Also you have to grow some klind
of plant, and then take it to the sauna to get it to grow... Then you have to
help Marvin unstick the door... Have you gotten into Marvin's room yet? And I
think that you do get fried when you take the common sense particle, thats just
how it works....

Greetings.
Am I to gather that, what you're saying is this about the great answer to 
life, the universe and everything, that the answer is not 42, but infact
is something, that, when spelled out with a scrabble set, gives a player
a word score of fourty-two (42)?
Deep thought was way ahead of its time.
Purely ingenious!

The answer to this is in the mother of all faq files.  Check out the
jargon file.  If you don't know about that go out to the store and
buy, order, beg for the book _The New Hackers Dictionary_.  It is just
a published version of the Jargon file and worth having on your shelf
even if you can ftp it.

=o= 13 corresponds to the number of times the moon goes around
the earth in a year.  Lots of cultures use 13 as a basis for
their months.

=o= Babylonian superstition made it unlucky, and this notion
was carried into Western Civilization by Christians, who, in
the course of wiping out nature-attentive European pagans,
transmogrified the number into something Satanic.

My mistake.  I made follow up posting that said that Simon Jones was "the book"
This is incorrect.  I should be shunned, barred from polite society and shot

It is, as Mick and a few others have pointed out, Peter.  I believe that Simon
is Arthur, but I could be wrong because all of my Hitchhikers shtuff is at

Arrrrrgl.....
Just Deep Thought realized, that you cannot answer a question without having 
the question. 
(I realise, that I am begining my argument like many religious people: In 
Lukas, 1.14 you can read.... :-) )
And the two questions we diskuss are: 
(1) If I multiply two (TWO!!!!!) arbitrary numbers: what is the probality that the  
product is of the form  4k + 2 ? 
(2) If I take an (ONE!) arbitrary number: what is the probability that this number 
is of the form 4k + 2 ?
In case of 4k + 2 the answer is in both cases 0.25. 
If you take 4k + 1 instead of 4k + 2, the answer of (1) is 0.125, the 
answer of (2) is 0.25.

  Jeez!  Although it is a FAQ, you take the time to write 5 lines and
  waste bandwidth to that as opposed to writing one line:
  "IMHO = In My Humble Opinion (or) In My Honest Opinion".

[Minor torching off]

  And now for something completely different:  DNA was on channel 4
  (a Swedish channel receivable in southern Finland) last friday.
  The interviewer was your below-average-quality-type-of-a-guy and
  completely failed to get anything interesting out of a potentially 
  extremely interesting character.  The "Last Chance to See" was
  mentioned - just briefly what it is all about and how DNA managed to write a
  hilarious book about dead-serious issues.  The upcoming "Mostly
  Harmless" was also mentioned and refered to as "The Fifth Part in an
  Exceedingly Inaccurately Named Trilogy" - or something to that effect.

  Other than that there was little else of interest except DNA himself.
  He seemed like a nice chap.

You'll find that 'The Deeper Meaning of Liff', if I'm not mistaken,
is actually a superset of 'The Meaning of Liff'. So I suppose it will
make sense if TMOL goes out of print ...

Does HHGTTG actually come on somewhere in LA? If so, when and where?

It is well known, expect to morons, that DA has a Mac.

Q1: Is DA on the net?

Q2: If A1=Yes then what is his e-mail address?
    If A1=No then *sob*
