Shouldn't you be studying for your math test? Time spent on porn is wasted time.

 

Free advice: Pick up a book. Here I'll even offer you a suggestion. "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy". From there perhaps the 'Dune' series.

Crowley is boring. 'The Book of the Law' is an exercise in selfish arrogance. Reminded me of the Republican platform. "Do what thou wilt, shall be the whole of the law".

 

 

Crowley was also well known as a translator. He did a version of the 'Tao Te Ching' I read. I say again Crowley is boring.

What's so bad about porn?

 

I like it (at least the "normal" porn' date=' not that modern-alternative stuff with people of the same sex jumping ono each other).[/quote']

 

As I read this I started to laugh while drinking coffee and it started to spew out of my nose and was kinda sexual in a messed up sort of way.

Going back to Homz' first hi-jack of the Playboy theme;

 

Surely I'm not the only person who noticed Thermionik's sign-off from the Forum was "So long; And thanks for all the fish!"........?

The Dolphins

 

And if Mankind only knew what the Dolphins meant by that phrase......

 

My personal favourite Tragi-Comic was the Sperm Whale who suddenly came into being and was in the process of trying to work out the meaning of everything when, all of a sudden, he met The Earth.

 

Priceless stuff. Adams was a genius.

 

Shame he committed suicide, eh?

 

As a music-related bit of trivia - the band who featured in the books had a lead singer (who was spending a year 'Dead' for Tax reasons) called Hotblack Desiato. Hotblack Desiato was (and still is) a real name - it's a North-London Estate Agency (I think you call them Realtors(?) in the USA).

Great advice there Homz! +1 even though I've never read those books (I did enjoy the movie Dune)

Death. Wikepedia Entry.

 

Adams died of a heart attack at the age of 49 on 11 May 2001' date=' during the rest period of his regular workout at a private gym in Montecito, California. He had unknowingly suffered a gradual narrowing of the coronary arteries, which led at that moment to a myocardial infarction and a fatal cardiac arrhythmia. Adams had been due to deliver the commencement address at Harvey Mudd College on 13 May.[39'] His funeral was held on 16 May 2001 in Santa Barbara, California. Several friends and people he had worked with were in attendance. His ashes were placed in Highgate Cemetery in north London in June 2002.[40]

A memorial service was held on 17 September 2001 at St. Martin-in-the-Fields Church, Trafalgar Square, London. This became the first church service of any kind broadcast live on the web by the BBC.[41] Video clips of the service are still available on the BBC's website for download.[42].

 

I remember some of the coverage of when Douglas Adams died, strangely enough he cropped up in conversation yesterday when talking with friends, a reference to Marvin the paranoid android. I remembered something at the time of a heart defect and a gym. The obits on the BBC, Times and Guardian on line all refer to his tragic sudden and unexpected death but not to a suicide. I'm not a natural pedant but couldn't see such a casual reference to the sad death of a father and husband by supposed suicide pass without checking to see if that had in fact been the case. I don't think it was the case that Douglas Adams took his own life.

And on Dolphins.

 

 

Thank you, RogerGLewis, for the above post.

 

I apologize unreservedly for my 'suicide' comment and any hurt it could have implied. None was intended. I was, and am still, a huge fan of his work.

 

At the time of his death I am absolutely certain I read that "friends" had been concerned by apparent bouts of depression and that it 'was possibly a factor' in the circumstances surrounding his death. I remember this distinctly as the news of his death came as a complete shock and, even though I didn't know him, I was genuinely saddened by it. I certainly would not have made my comment had I not believed these comments to be completely true and based on fact rather than hearsay.

 

I didn't read any of the official obit's you mention and in light of the 'actualite' I'm happier knowing that, sad as his death was, it was due to natural causes.

Dirk Gentley's Holistic Detective Agency is pretty good, too. It was overlooked 'cause everyone was still reading all the Hitchhiker series several times (myself included).

 

Any of you Adams fans read "Young Zaphod Plays It Safe"?
