Just a few great Douglas Adams links

In the beginning the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

There is a theory which states that if anybody ever 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.

Okay, on with some links. First, his page: http://www.douglasadams.com/

Artificial god speech to Biota: http://www.biota.org/people/douglasadams/

His "Community" Page that the BBC now owns: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2

Hyperland: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7190175107515525470

Let me know if there are any particularly appropriate links that I should post. And of course, feel free to discuss his works of fiction as well!

Comment by Larian LeQuella on November 2, 2009 at 7:17pm: I was a bit confused too. :)

Comment by Michael Hirasuna on November 2, 2009 at 3:50pm: Thanks for the clarification. Glad I asked.

Comment by Nonsanity on November 2, 2009 at 3:42pm: Re the email I just got from this group about the book "The Prostitute in The Family Tree" by "Douglas Adams"... It's not the same Douglas Adams. Just so ya know. :)

Comment by Larian LeQuella on October 14, 2009 at 6:15pm: Oh, Stephen Fry is very cool as well! Good call BBC (and this is based off the book, right?).

Comment by Sandy on October 14, 2009 at 5:38am: I believe the BBC series features Stephen Fry with Mark Carradine. Haven't seen it myself, but there's a great little clip from it on the Atheist Humour board (embedded in the thread about Hitchens).

Comment by Larian LeQuella on October 13, 2009 at 6:08pm: Sylvain, yes, that is a wonderful book! Didn't the BBC produce some shows based on that book? Us poor Yanks aren't allowed to see the BBC, it may cure us of Glenn Beckitis. ;)

Comment by Merelen on September 28, 2009 at 11:15pm: Rereading the Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide for the umpteenth time. :) I enjoy that there's always a part I'd forgotten I love.

Comment by Larian LeQuella on May 27, 2009 at 9:37pm: Bloody hell! I missed Towel Day! You may all flog me in the public square for such heresy. I suppose my reunion with my family after being deployed had a stronger grip on my reality than Towel Day. I hope you never lost yours!

Comment by Larian LeQuella on April 20, 2009 at 9:48pm: I just wanted to say thank you all for joining this fangroup! I never expected it to grow as big as it has.

Comment by Kevin on January 9, 2009 at 1:51am: Hi Everyone, I love the Hitchhiker's Guide and Dirk Gently. I saw the BBC have released their second Dirk Gently radio dramatization (The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul), which is available from Amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dirk-Gently-Long-Teatime-Audio/dp/140568755X/ref=wl_it_dp?ie=UTF8&coliid=I36VP6HBSB3KY4&colid=5745LFKA219K). If it's as good as the book, don't listen while driving - bursting out in uncontrollable laughter does make for safe driving!!!
