"Why are we surrounded by squirrels, and what do they want?"
"I've been pestered by squirrels all night," said Arthur. "They keep on trying to give me magazines and stuff."

He reached out and pressed an invitingly large red button on a nearby panel. The panel lit up with the words Please do not press this button again.
"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."
"Some factual information for you. Have you any idea how much damage that bulldozer would suffer if I just let it roll straight over you?"
"How much?" said Arthur.
"None at all," said Mr. Prosser.
@afelia ein unendlich langes Handtuch? (Weil man in die eine Richtung kein Ende findet, muss es unendlich lang sein. Und Handtücher sind halt das praktischste Utensil im Universum nach dem #HitchhikersGuide)
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
Hence a phrase that has passed into hitchhiking slang, as in "Hey, you sass that hoopy Ford Prefect? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is." (Sass: know, be aware of, meet, have sex with; hoopy: really together guy; frood: really amazingly together guy.)
"You, Mr. President, are the most philosophunculistic, moronic, steatopygic excuse for a politician that it has ever been my good fortune to not vote for, and if I thought for one second that this crappy Universe deserved any better, then I would pay, out of my own pocket you understand, to have you assassinated."—Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged

So long, and thanks for all the fish!
The Guide is definitive. Reality is frequently inaccurate.
The storm had now definitely abated, and what thunder there was now grumbled over more distant hills, like a man saying "And another thing..." twenty minutes after admitting he's lost the argument.
"My doctor says that I have a malformed public-duty gland and a natural deficiency in moral fibre," Ford muttered to himself, "and that I am therefore excused from saving Universes."
4/3 (Kind of like #DouglasAdams’s #HitchhikersGuide ever-expanding trilogy)
I listed those five poly aftertouch enabled keybeds for a reason … each one brings completely different playing techniques into the process,
and depending on what I’m planning to do on the Nonlinear Labs C15, a different controller will be chosen as the best tool for the job.
It’s a tall order, as the C15 already has the best synth keybed I’ve ever used. Still, it’s mono aftertouch … hence the joy with this update.
In der ARD Audiothek gibt es gerade die deutsche #Hörspiel-Fassung von per Anhalter durch die Galaxis aus dem Jahre 1981 (unter dem Titel „Per Anhalter ins All). Es lohnt sich so sehr

Trillian: The insurance business is completely screwy now. You know they've reintroduced the death penalty for insurance company directors?
Arthur: Really? No I didn't. For what offense?
Trillian: What do you mean, offence?
Arthur: I see.
(Yes, I know the watch is upside down. Let's pretend it's a joke.)
Here's a deep dive into the changes to the original text of the #HitchhikersGuide novel across both time and space.
What errors existed in the original? What errors have been introduced? Why is there six million miles between the UK and the US? #DouglasAdams
Ah . . . ! What's happening? it thought.
Er, excuse me, who am I?
Hello?
Why am I here? What's my purpose in life?
What do I mean by who am I?
