Life, the Universe and Everything (edit title)

Shelfari edited the description of Life, the Universe and Everything 10 days ago.

• The unhappy inhabitants of planet Krikkit are sick of looking at the night sky above their heads–so they plan to destroy it. The universe, that is. Now only five individuals stand between the killer robots of Krikkit and their goal of total annihilation. They are Arthur Dent, a mild-mannered space and time traveler who tries to learn how to fly by throwing himself at the ground and missing; Ford Prefect, his best friend, who decides to go insane to see if he likes it; Slartibartfast, the indomitable vice president of the Campaign for Real Time, who travels in a ship powered by irrational behavior; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed, three-armed ex-president of the galazy; and Trillian, the sexy space cadet who is torn between a persistent Thunder God and a very depressed Beeblebrox. How will it all end? Will it end? Only this stalwart crew knows as they try to avert “universal” Armageddon and save life as we know it–and don’t know it!

Master Of Pointillism edited the quotations of Life, the Universe and Everything 3 weeks ago.

• Added a quotation: “"I though you must be dead ..." he said simply. "So did I for a while," said Ford," and then I decided I was a lemon for a couple of weeks. I kept myself amused all that time jumping in and out of a gin and tonic."”Ford Perfect
• Added a quotation: “The point is, you see, that there is no point in driving yourself mad trying to stop yourself going mad. You might as well give in and save your sanity for later.”
• Added a quotation: “My doctor says that I have a malformed public duty gland and a natural deficiency in moral fiber and that I am therefore excused from saving Universes.”
• Added a quotation: “On a waiter's check pad," said Slartibartfast, "reality and unreality collide on such a fundamental level that each becomes the other and anything is possible, within certain parameters.”
• Added a quotation: “No one really knows what mattresses are meant to gain from their lives either. They are large, friendly, pocket-sprung creatures that live quiet private lives in marshes of Sqornshellous Zeta. Many of them get caught, slaughtered, dried out, shipped and slept on. None of them seems to mind this and all of them are called Zem.”
• Added a quotation: “They walked quite near the watchers beneath the tree, swinging lanterns that made soft and crazy lights dance among the trees and grass, chattering contentedly, and actually singing a song about how terribly nice everything was, how happy they were, how much they enjoyed working on the farm, and how pleasant it was to be going home to see their wives and children, with a lilting chorus to the effect that flowers were smelling particularly nice at this time of year and that it was a pity the dog died seeing as it liked them so much. Arthur could almost imagine Paul McCartney sitting with his feet up by the fire one evening, humming it to Linda and wondering what to buy with the proceeds, and thinking, probably Essex.”
• Added a quotation: “"The game you know as cricket is just one of those curious freaks of racial memory that can keep images alive in the mind eons after their true significance has been lost in the mists of time. Of all the races in the galaxy, only the English could possibly revive the memory of the most horrific wars ever sunder the Universe and transform it into what I'm afraid is generally regarded as an incomprehensibly dull and pointless game."”
• Added a quotation: “None of these facts, however strange or inexplicable, is as strange or inexplicable as the rules of the game of Brockian Ultra Cricket, as played in the higher dimensions. A full set of rules is so massively complicated that the only time they were all bound together in a single volume they underwent gravitational collapse and became a Black Hole.”
