Apathetic bloody planet, I've no sympathy at all.

Marvin droned,
Now the world has gone to bed,
Darkness don't engulf my head,
I can see by infrared,
How I hate the night.
He paused to gather artistic and emotional strength to tackle the next verse.
Now I lay me down to sleep,
Try to count electric sheep,
Sweet dream wishes you can keep,
How I hate the night.

"The insurance business is completely screwy now. You know they've reintroduced the death penalty for insurance company directors?"
"Really?" said Arthur. "No, I didn't. For what offense?"
Trillian frowned.
"What do you mean, offense?"
"I see."

"Ford," insisted Arthur, "I don't know if this sounds like a silly question, but what am I doing here?"
"Well you know that," said Ford. "I rescued you from the Earth."
"And what's happened to the Earth?"
"Ah. It's been demolished."
"Has it," said Arthur levelly.
"Yes. It just boiled away into space."
"Look," said Arthur, "I'm a bit upset about that."

One of the problems has to do with the speed of light and the difficulties involved in trying to exceed it. You can't. Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws.

Oh no, not again.

"What's up?"
"I don't know," said Marvin, "I've never been there."

On the way back they sang a number of tuneful and reflective songs on the subjects of peace, justice, morality, culture, sport, family life and the obliteration of all other life forms.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy ... says of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation products that "it is very easy to be blinded to the essential uselessness of them by the sense of achievement you get from getting them to work at all."

In the Deep South of Canberra, the sun never appeared today - high fog/low cloud is still haunting the area and the sun has apparently now set. Now I understand how the inhabitants of the planet Cricket felt.

It got up to a staggeringly high of 5.6 degrees while feeling like about one degree. Thankfully, there was no wind, or it would have been even worse.

I wonder if we will see the sun tomorrow.

"The first ten million years were the worst," said Marvin, "and the second ten million years, they were the worst too. The third ten million years I didn't enjoy at all. After that I went into a bit of a decline."

Every now and then, the Sky People who built Clachtoll Broch descend for a game of Brochian Ultracricket on Stoer Green.

Happy Towel Day to all who celebrate!

These two small white toy mice have been on my desk since I bought them for Towel Day 2018.

Today is, for those unaware, “Towel Day.” Celebrating not only “the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have” but remembering one Douglas Noel Adams who left us 24 years ago.

So long and thanks for all the fish you cool frood!

Most readers of Dr. Dan Streetmentioner's Time Traveler's Handbook of 1001 Tense Transformations get as far as the Future Semiconditionally Modified Subinverted Plagal Past Subjunctive Intentional before giving up; and in fact in later editions of the book all pages beyond this point have been left blank to save on printing costs.

"Come," said Slartibartfast, "you are to meet the mice."
