For those of you not in the know, Douglas Adams wrote "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". He will be sorely missed -- a very, very funny and great guy.

One of the funniest writers ever. This is very sad news. ------------------ I'm about to boldly go where many men have gone before.
42 Now we need to find the question. ------------------ The next time I have meat and mashed potatoes, I think I'll put a very large blob of potatoes on my plate with just a little piece of meat. And if someone asks me why i didn't get more meat, ill just say, "Oh, you mean this?" and pull out a big piece of meat from inside the blob of potatoes, where ive hidden it. Good magic trick, huh?

This makes me very sad. I enjoyed his work and thought he would be around a lot longer. The world has lost a great talent... and it wasn't in the news here. People didn't appreciate him enough. ------------------ Isabel,clutchcity.net lurker since 1996 All your base are belong to Heypartner.
Goodbye, Douglas. Now you are working on that big infinity improbability engine in the sky. RIP ------------------ Give me ambiguity or give me something else.
I'm sorry he's gone. I love his stuff, know the Hitchhiker's Guide intro by memory. Although, in all fairness, he was never very good at endings. RIP ------------------
His Dirk Gently books are great too. He'll be sorely missed. 42 ------------------ "I don't want to join a club that accepts people like me as members."
