DON'T PANIC!

Douglas Adams was listening to Grand Hotel by Procol Harum when he wrote the Guide.

He was totally nuts, but I love him!

 

"Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun.

 

Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.

 

This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

 

And so the problem remained; lots of the people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches."
