  1. Happy #towelday #towelday2024

    2 bits of Douglas Adam’s writing that I re-read often, real comfort reading for me:

    1. Restaurant at the End of the Universe where they meet the Ruler of the Universe (And his cat, The Lord).

    2. The story Arthur tells Fenchurch in So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish about his cafe visit before a train journey.

    Both amazing examples of succinct, simple, entertaining and insightful story telling.

    He made it look easy, though it was very hard for him.

    Ta DNA!

  2. Ich reise nach Hamburg, selbstverständlich habe ich mein Handtuch dabei.

  4. Im Übrigen ist die vogonische Dichtkunst die drittschlechteste im Universum.

  5. “For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”

    ― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
