I don't usually meme, but I saw this on flist and had to join in.
IF YOU READ THIS, QUOTE DOUGLAS ADAMS IN YOUR JOURNAL. In honour of the The Great On-Turning I chose:
Many many millions of years ago a race of hyperintelligent pan-dimensional beings (whose physical manifestation in their own pan-dimensional universe is not dissimilar to our own) got so fed up with the constant bickering about the meaning of life which used to interrupt their favourite pastime of Brockian Ultra Cricket (a curious game which involved suddenly hitting people for no readily apparent reason and then running away) that they decided to sit down and solve their problems once and for all.
And to this end they built themselves a stupendous super computer which was so amazingly intelligent that even before the data banks had been connected up it had started from I think therefore I am and got as far as the existence of rice pudding and income tax before anyone managed to turn it off.
Just a reminder to everyone that today is indeed the day of the Great On-Turning, all of which means we're all going to die or possibly just that there's a Torchwood radio play on later this afternoon, the start time of which has temporarily escaped my mind but it's somewhere around three-ish my time.
And, just because I never really saw this mentioned anywhere and it really quite upset me, I'd like to say rest in peace, Geoffrey Perkins, who died in a road accident on August 29th. Geoffrey produced the first two seasons of the Hitchhiker's radio series and went on to be the greatest, most brilliant and influential BBC comedy producer the last 30 years has seen. If it was funny and you liked it, Geoffrey probably produced it and he will be sorely missed. Yeah, you know his name, it's been in the credits of every funny thing you've ever watched. What a loss.
