i think americans should get together and weed out the people who have been running the country and spending money in the name of the american people for the last 50 years, then lock them up for life.

Excerpts from "The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy"
Reason why Douglas Adams is a genius!

Reason #1

Arthur:
You know this explains a lot. Because all my life I've had this unaccountable feeling in my bones that something sinister was happening in the universe, and that no one would tell me what it was.

Slartelbartsfast:
Ohh no thats just perfectly normal paranoia....everyone in the universe has that.

Arthur:
Everyone?

Slartelbartsfast:
Everyone.

Arthur:
Ahh well maybe that means something. That outside the universe we know, some alien intelligence...

Slartelbartsfast:
Maybe... who cares. Perhaps I am old and tired but I always think the chances of finding out what really is going on, are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say... hang the sense of it and keep yourself occupied!



Reason #2

The universe:
Some information to help you live in it.
Area: infinite
Population: none
It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, but that not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so if every planet in the universe has a population of zero, then the entire population of the universe must also be zero, and any people you may meet from time to time are merely products of a deranged imagination.
