A being from the Planet Brontitall, where the Shoe Event Horizon was exploited by the Dolmansaxlil Galactic Shoe Corporation who made shoes that were always too wide or in some way would never fit anyone so people were always replacing them.
Wow we really are approaching the Shoe Event Horizon. Realising this the day after Douglas Adams' birthday is bloody typical of me!
How long exactly does it take to evolve wings? Asking for a friend.

Don’t Panic! It’s only the end of the world… but lone survivor Arthur Dent needs the sort of advice found in The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide To The Galaxy. HELP! 10.30pm Radio Times illustration of Arthur Dent, a fleet of flying saucers, and a being with bifurcated eyes. Alan Brookes hasn't quite got the idea of an electronic book, but how could such an outlandish notion ever take hold?
OTD 1978: The HitchHiker’s Guide To The Galaxy
Fit the First premieres on Radio 4 and the world doesn’t know what’s hit it
One of the funniest, cleverest, most unspeakably moving stories ever told.
And with the end, Douglas Adams is just beginning.

The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy - Douglas Adams (a trilogy in 5 parts)
The Stone and the flute - Hans Bemann
The Winter Players - Tanith Lee
World book day. 4 recommendations. If you can have 5 books in the trilogy of H2G2 then two Tanith Lee recommendations doesn’t feel wrong. #worldbookday #tanithlee #h2g2
I thought the white mice were actually in charge, or something?
Tbh, I’m quite worried that all the dolphins are about to disappear.

Arthur Dent: What happens if I press this button?
Ford Prefect: I wouldn't-
Arthur Dent: Oh.
Ford Prefect: What happened?
Arthur Dent: A sign lit up, saying 'Please do not press this button again.

Has anyone thought of tying all the AIs up by asking them why Arthur Dent likes Tea?
It fucked up Eddie on the Heart of Gold for ages and he was way smarter than Grok.

A tub labelled Milliways in a shop. Not Douglas Adams.
Milliways are allegedly plastic-free gum. Sometimes I think this planet deserves the Vogons.
Someone has copyrighted *Milliways* and turned the finest food you’re ever going to get into your non-plastic pal it’s fun to be with?
What the Belgium, man?!

Just now there's a documentary on Sky Arts about the life of Douglas Adams. All the quotes from his books are firmly lodged in my memory and wouldn't have it any other way. 🤗
Also, I always know where my towel is. 😎 #DouglasAdams #HHGTTG #H2G2
