death of a legend...
this is my first post in a non-tech forum, but i simply had to share my grief with a group that i think may understand. on May 11, 2001 a.d. a legend passed from this world. this man captured my imagination and forced me to think in ways that i can barely express...Zaphod...you will be sorely missed.

Dharma Lion,
I went to the thread and read his small obit. Do you mind explaining a little about this man's causes or accomplishments. I don't mean to intrude with my ignorance but I'm genuinely interested...thanks in advance...Blankman

no problem...
Douglas Adams is a sci-fi author who is best know for his book "The Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy" i can not do this man justice...perhaps this will explain http://www.msnbc.com/news/572417.asp?cp1=1 |

oh that sucks. i loved his universe series. BTW, did he finish that series before he kicked off?
I remember when Asimov (spelling?) died. I was so pissed off, b/c he didn't finish the "robot" series. |

Maybe now he'll find out that 47 isn't the proper answer. Man I loved that book.
I think it was 47 in that book anyway.... |
