GEEKING OUT! A places for nerds, geeks & freaks

It would have been Douglas Adams' 61st birthday today.

Google has a fun doodle to commemorate.

Some fun snips from the Hitchhiker's pentalogy:

"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone 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."

"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."
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

"On Earth ... the problem had been with cars. The disadvantages involved in pulling lots of black sticky slime from out of the ground where it had been safely hidden out of harm's way, turning it into tar to cover the land with, smoke to fill the air with and pouring the rest into the sea, all seemed to outweigh the advantages of being able to get more quickly from one place to another – particularly when the place you arrived at had probably become, as a result of this, very similar to the place you had left, i.e. covered with tar, full of smoke and short of fish."
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

"A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof was to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools."
Mostly Harmless

"There was a point to this story, but it has temporarily escaped the chronicler's mind."
