YDL 4.0 - Super Off Topic

[Olaf Olson]

I will admit that I too learned a great deal from Douglas Adams, chief 
among the things I learned is that the secret to flying is to throw 
yourself at the ground and miss. I haven't perfected it yet and I've 
decided not to try from any higher starting points than I have so far 
attempted.

Nevertheless, I wish he had stopped before the final book in the series, 
in which the simultaneous guide managed to finish the story permanently, 
in Stavromula Beta. Still... those fjords are quite nice.

Sorry for the inconvenience...
