And all the bowl of pertunias thought was 'oh not again'
This is quite possibly one of my favorite parts out of the book
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 ahve speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of pentunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the Universe than we do now.
Later in the book the main character, Arthur Dent, runs into a creature who is obsessed with him, apparently in every section of the book Arthur kills something, and that something was various re-incarnations of this creature. The creature is obsessed with killing Arthur, however at the last minute Arthur somehow accidently brings about the final death of the beast. Shortly afterward Arthur finds a long lost bag and learns to fly.
I am serious, this book is THE FUNNIEST book I have ever read. It is better than any comedy movie, it is hilarious. The movie is like drinking warm diluted soda (You know after the ice cubes have all melted). The book is pure, concentrated, rediculous, amazing, humour.
Just remember, all humans are decendents of hair stylists, marketing researchers, and telephone sanitizers who were exiled from their homeword (which was shortly thereafter anillated by a disease spread by telephone receivers) and crash landed in earth. Upon which they ensured the extinction of the cave men which then led to Arthur discovering the ultimate question to be, "What do you get when you multiply six by nine"
So, in closing I just would like to again say, 42.
