How About A Cup Of The Answer To Everything?
Reiner Schulz writes "Douglas Adams admittedly was a big fan of Earl Grey tea. Here's his enlightening entry in H2G2 on the subject (pretty much straight out of The Salmon of Doubt). And those familiar w/ the Hitchhiker's Guide will remember the drink dispenser from The Restaurant at the End of the Universe which, trying to figure out how to brew the perfect cuppa, grabs all available computing resources on board a certain starship. What a coincidence then that one of the finest blends of Earl Grey on the planet in general and in the UK in particular is Harrods' Earl Grey, Blend No. ... 42 . It's a plausible theory as to the origin of the answer to everything, isn't it? Earl Grey addicts like myself will certainly agree (even though Douglas liked his w/ milk; I prefer lemon). So, what would be the question? Perhaps, how about a nice cup of tea?"
Slashdot needs a "regime change"!
It's about time its citizens were allowed to vote democratically!
Who is with me?
I hate sigs.
I hate useless posts like this!
It's not just the few seconds it takes to read and comprehend the message, but also the half hour it takes to post a few dozen rants about the post!
This sucks!
failings on your part do not undermine the brilliance of Douglas' work. While seemingly silly on the surface, beneath is a depth of understanding about the modern world and life (and the universe and everything) far beyond the common.
;p

I have no idea, but I like to think of Douglas Adams as the Lewis Carroll of the 20th century.
What? A paedophile?
