    You're JohnTheBike in drag, aren't you?

      Nope, but I know a bit of the history of H2G2.

      Adams and Johnstone went to school together and in the early versions of the books, Johnstone was named as the worst poet in the universe. Johnstone then wanted it changed as he was a businessman running a media company, so Adams created Paula Jennings, but made clear reference back to Paul.

      If you don't like H2G2, those facts, like the rest of this thread, are probably best avoided.

        I got a drink out of a vogon once. Bill Wallis bought a round at his son's 18th birthday bash. Cool story, I know.
        Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

          Very inneresting.

          Another inneresting fact is that i play HHGTTG under CP/M on my home designed and built Z80 and Z180 computers.

          How's that for a furry analgesic?

            Are you saying that you accept what I posted was factual, and now you feel the need to change the subject?

              I don't know if it's factual and I certainly wasn't changing the subject.

              Also, which part of "Another inneresting fact" did you not understand to be acknowledging your "fact"?

              Just asking so that I can ensure you don't make that mistake again.
