And the most interesting natural structure? A giant, two-thousand-mile-long fish in orbit around Jupiter, according to a reliable report in the Weekly World News. The photograph was very convincing, and I'm only surprised that more-reputable journals like New Scientist, or even just The Sun, haven't followed up with more details. We should be told.
Douglas Adams
Imagine he said, never even thinking, 'We are alone,' simply because it has never occurred to you to think that there's any other way to be.
Douglas Adams
What does it matter? Science has achieved some wonderful things, of course, but I'd far rather be happy than right any day.
Douglas Adams
Do you find coming to terms with the mindless tedium of it all presents an interesting challenge?

Douglas Adams
He actually caught himself saying things like Yippee, as he pranced ridiculously round the house.
Douglas Adams
And then, just when you think that you have experienced all the wonders that this world has to offer, you round a peak and suddenly think you're doing the whole thing over again, but this time on drugs.
Douglas Adams
After a while he played with the pencil and the paper again and was delighted when he discovered how to make a mark with the one on the other. Various noises continued outside, but he didn't know whether they were real or not. He then talked to his table for a week to see how it would react.
Douglas Adams
A computer terminal is not some clunky old television with a typewriter in front of it. It is an interface where the mind and body can connect with the universe and move bits of it about.
Douglas Adams
She had what it took: great hair, a profound understanding of strategic lip gloss, the intelligence to understand the world and a tiny secret interior deadness which meant she didn’t care.
Douglas Adams
If we see you smoking we will assume you are on fire and take appropriate action.
Douglas Adams
Democracy is all about not electing the wrong man-eating lizard.
Douglas Adams
A theory of the universe that states: If anyone finds out what the universe is for, it will disappear and be replaced by something more bizarrely inexplicable.
Douglas Adams
I've never understood all this fuss people make about the dawn. I've seen a few and they're never as good as the photographs, which have the additional advantage of being things you can look at when you're in the right frame of mind, which is usually around lunchtime.
Douglas Adams
There is a feeling which persists in England that making a sandwich interesting, attractive, or in any way pleasant to eat is something sinful that only foreigners do.
Douglas Adams
We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works.
Douglas Adams
Anything that thinks logically can be fooled by something else that thinks at least as logically as it does.
Douglas Adams
