It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

So therefore today is.....

.... Wednesday????



Head hurts... question confused me

Happy birthday Douglas .Where ever you are.


( that's Douglas Adams )

In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry, and is generally considered to have been a bad move.

I'm so not understanding a word of this thread

Ahhh Lommie - it sounds like you are in need of a babel fish.

...and a towel...

now you're just trying to confuse me on purpose!

Don't Panic!

aw, dont worry Lady of Mystery. Hitch hikers guide, was never a girl thing. This was why they ditched the trillian character quickly in the books, and the original radio series.
she didnt have enough geek appeal.

Douglas Adams, the hoopiest frood of them all!

belgium!

I would join in but I'm spending this year dead for tax reasons.

Yep - Happy Birthday Douglas - he would have been 57 today....

"He hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife."
