I should comment on something. One of the most important concepts in the series is the number 42. You just have to accept that right off. When I started reading the series again a few days ago, I went to pick out a bookmark. And. Seemingly "at random" and without thinking about it at all, I selected a bookmark from the movie "42" about Jackie Robinson. I did not even notice for a couple of days.

This, if you know about it, suits the books perfectly.

"How would you react if I said that I'm not from Guildford after all, but from a small planet somewhere in the vicinity of Betelguse?"

 "I don't know...Why, do you think it's the sort of thing you're likely to say?"
