DOOH ! :hurt:

I'm supoosed to know that. :rambo:

You're probably a bit too young to know that. I think the book was written in 1979 and the radio series was aired about a year before that IIRC.

Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, anyone?

And all this time I thought towel day was on the 42 seconds into the 42nd day of the fourty second year after The first edition of the HHGTG was written and translated into 42 different languages...I think I'll go wrap my head with a wet towel...and contemplate the vast hugeness of the universe of the volume of rust one Z can contain...

For the past few years, Towel Day has settled on May 25th. This date was selected - appropriately enough - for no discernible reason.

I played sax in a band back in the 80s called 'A.K.A. 42'.

I would say: "And now for something completely different!", but I have no idea what that would be-43?

What do you get when you multiply 6 by 9?

I would heartily recommend the two Dirk Gently books that Adams wrote later on. Neither reached the acclaim as the Hitchhikers Trilogy (all six of them), but they are still excellent.

Also, the book "Good Omens" by Neil Gaimen and Terry Pratchett...excellent stuff in the vein of Hitchhikers.

FWIW.
