Well, bugger me gently with a fishknife! How the hell did that happen?
(For those of you bothering to read this and not knowing what I'm on about: my non-avatar originally read "Ceci n'est pas un avatar". Some joker translated it into spanish.)
May I assume it to be someone with admin-powers? Please, change it back. There's a good admin.

Douglas Adams happens to have penned down (or keyed in, more like) a lot of rather profound thoughts in a very humourous way, some of which pertain pretty accurately to this forum's subject matter.

Is that re the profoundness of what he wrote, the humourous way in which he wrote it, or the way in which it pertains to this site?

So was Douglas.

I'll admit I never liked Adams's stuff (I must have missed the profound bits), but I didn't intend 'Brit' as an insult. In fact, considering my abiding love for UK intellectual slapstick like Monty Python and Julian Barnes, I thought for sure "Hitchhiker's Guide" would have been right up my alley. Carriageway, I mean.

It's all a matter of taste, I guess. Anyway, I didn't take it as an insult, this 'Brit' thing. First of all, because I'm not British, and second because you thought that I am. I'll take that as a great compliment.
Have you read Adams' "Last chance to see"? It's non-fiction, it's about travel, biology, evolution and extinction, to name a few subjects. Speaking of 'pertaining to'... And it's absolutely very funny.
Cheers
