Yeah, but those two bits were in the book. Ah, 42. It is the number of my homeroom at school. Being a complete geek, I proceeded to brag to my friends about how smart my class must be. Lol!:p:D

[Migey]

well about reading....

has anyone read H.I.V.E.

or its sequel,overlord protocol?

[Icelands]

I watched the movie a long long time ago. I don't think it was very good! Then again, I barely remember :o

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is such an amazing book! I adore it. But never see the movie. It was awful. They tried to put all the books into one movie, and then they threw in some extra stuff they thought was dramatic but really was just sad. And the beginning was really cheesy - it was a bunch of singing dolphins. I mean, seriously! Singing dolphins?


But Alan Rickman is in it! It HAS to be good! LOL. He's Marvin, the depressed robot. :)

And I heard about the singing dolphins-- I just read a part that mentioned that dolphins were the 2nd most intelligent species on Earth or whatever. (mice being the 1st-- hahah, that's genius.)

i liked the film,it was so random.......

i loled quite hard at the bit wiht the supercomputer

'the answer.....is forty two...'

and i liked the bvit at the beggining when the bartender asks 'what then?shall we lie downa dn put paper bags on our heads?' and the guy replies 'you can..but it wont help..'

Hahaha forty-two is hilarious. And then the mice just make up a random question to appease their race. "How many roads must a man walk?"

Some other of my favorite quotes are (so far, since I haven't gotten to the end quite yet):

"This planet has-- or rather had--a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were uphappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy."

Hahah, brilliant! And so true!

"Bypasses are devices that allow some people to dash from point A to point B very fast while other people dash from point B to point A very fast. People living at point C, being a point directly in between, are often given to wonder what's so great about point A that so many people from point B are so keen to get there, and what's so great about point B that so many people from point A are so keen to get there. They often wish that people would just once and for all work out where the hell they wanted to be."

Ha, so confusing, but yet still makes sense.

"[Ford] sat down on one of the mattresses and rummaged about in his satchel. Arthur prodded the mattress nervously and then sat on it himself: in fact he had very little to be nervous about, because all mattresses grown in the swamps of Sqornshellous Zeta are very thoroughly killed and dired before being put to service. Very few have ever come to life again."

WTH?! lol, it's so random and gives me this visual of these stampeding mattresses being shot down and hung up to dry...And then coming back to life again. lol.

"'Sorry, did I say something wrong?' said Marvin, dragging himself on regardless. 'Pardon me for breathing, which I never do anyway so I don't know why I bother to say it, oh God, I'm so depressed...'"

Ha, I'm just imagining Alan Rickman saying this and it makes me laugh :)

Zaphod: Hey, kid, you just saved our lives, you know that?"
Arthur: Oh, well, it was nothing really...
Zaphod: Was it? Oh well, forget it then. Okay, computer, take us into land.
Arthur: But...
Zaphod: I said forget it.

:D Us humans-- we always say things we don't mean and then expect others to compliment us.

"Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was Oh no, not again. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the Universe than we do now."

Once again-- WTH?? Soooo random.

"Somewhere in the cosmos, [Veet Voojagig] said...there was a planet entirely given over to ballpoint life forms. And it was to this planet that unattended ballpoints would make their way, slipping away quietly through wormholes in space to a world where they knew they could enjoy a uniquely ballpointoid life-style, responding to highly ballpoint-oriented stimuli, and generally leading the ballpoint equivilent of the good life."

Once again, random. How does he think of this stuff?!?

LOL sorry for all the quotes. :o (It took me forever to type them up...)
