LIFE IMITATING ART

 

I'm re-reading Douglas Adams's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on Libby at present and also watching the brilliant 1981 BBC series on YouTube as well.

A bit of an added bonus is seeing Arthur Dent's house being demolished by bulldozers in the early part of episode one. This reminded me of Richard's front lawn woes of this week where he said in a post that he awoke to see a digger ripping up his front section by mistake.

To those readers who have never read Douglas Adams's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. or watched the TV series or even seen the 2005 film I say - "shame on you". This is definitely part of our generation's culture and will be enduring. I hope that Robert has read the books and seen the TV series and, or, the film (the TV series is better) because I know that it will appeal to his enquiring mind. It will also challenge his other mind - the Christian closed one as, throughout, concepts of god are challenged, argued about in a logical way and, naturally, refuted. Here are a few examples:

There are more and it'll be fun to find them.
