  6. **FORD:**
    When are you gonna reach the planet you're meant to be colonising?

    **CAPTAIN:**
    Oh, well we nearly there!… I think… yes. Any second now. Well it's probably time I got out of the bath in fact. Ha ha. Oh… I don't know though… why stop just when you're enjoying it, you know I always say…

    **ARTHUR:**
    So we're actually going to land in a minute?

    **CAPTAIN:**
    Well not, not, not so much land in fact, I think as far as I can remember we're programmed to, er crash on it.

    **ARTHUR and FORD:**
    "Crash"?

    **CAPTAIN:**
    Yes. It's all part of the plan. … I think. There was terribly good reason for it which I can't… quite… remember at the moment.

    **FORD:**
    _[Yells in exasperation]_ You're a load of useless, bloody loonies!!

    **CAPTAIN:**
    Ah, yes, that was it, that was reason it was. Ha. Pass me the loofah will you?

    _[The ship crash lands]_

    #Myst was hugely popular, though I think it had more to do with being a "novelty"... a text adventure (ala #Infocom) with pictures.

    I've LONG wished #Activision (which owns the old Infocom library) would release 1st person 3D versions of all of the old classics (it can be done now. In the 8bit days, it would have been FAR too complicated.) #HHG2TG #Zork #LeatherGoddesses #Planetfall

    "Which is precisely the sort of thing we need to know," insisted the girl, "Do people want fire that can be fitted nasally?"

    "Well, you're obviously being totally naive of course", said the girl, "When you've been in marketing as long as I have, you'll know that before any new product can be developed it has to be properly researched. We’ve got to find out what people want from fire, how they relate to it, what sort of image it has for them."

    The crowd were tense. They were expecting something wonderful from Ford.

    Disguised by hilarious insanity, Douglas Adams gave us many gems of pure wisdom.

    "To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
    To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”
