  • OT: Douglas Adams, author of HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy, dies at 49.....

    The title says it all.

    Mr. Adams was a master of witty dialog, satire and insightful humor. He'll be greatly missed by this very big fan of his works.

    42!

      As an owner of The Hitch-hiker's Guide To The Galaxy cassette tape set which I never tire of listening to I'd like to second the previous comments.

      RIP. Douglas and thank you.

        I am sorry to hear of his untimely demise.

        I remember debating many of his fantastic ideas with engineering buddies during my college days. A favorite of mine was the probability drive!

                a great loss indeed.... just hope he remembered to bring a towel!

                If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."
