for no particular reason, a bonus QOTD from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

The Encyclopedia Galactica defines a robot as a mechanical apparatus designed to do the work of a man. The marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation defines a robot as "Your Plastic Pal Who's Fun to Be With. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy defines the marketing devision of the Sirius Cybernetic Corporation as "a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes

I use "plastic pal who's fun to be with" way too often in my day to day life.

On the settlement of earth a) people invented the wheel pretty quickly but the marketing people couldn’t decide what color it should be b) they chose leaves for currency but got hyperinflation so they burned the forests down Love that trilogy of four books 🙃

Douglas Adams was the best. I got an email from him one time! So in 1994/5, I was discovering Gopher and the text-based www, and I found his cambridge.edu email address. I emailed telling him how much fun I had playing the Infocom HHGttG game with my mom as a kid. His reply: Thank you!
