On and on about Doug Adams

well, i must have posted atleast 3 blogs earlier about 'the guide', either inspired by it, or just after putting it down. why not, especially if each and every page is loaded with so much of inspirations and just plain wacky distractions, that it has become quite essential part of my day to day life.
i confess i don't read much more than a few pages each day, but it has always left me content and happy...take this part that i was reading today...
a conversation in 'life, the universe, and everything' book, that an eager to please mattress, yep mattress, is having with Marvin, the paranoid Android...
after several unsucessful attempts at having a conversation with Marvin, the mattress says to Marvin. ...'You have something in your mind, I think'
'More than u can possibly imagine... my capacity for mental activity of all kinds is as boundless as the infinite reaches of space itself. Except of course for my capacity for happiness'
After a few moments Marvin adds 'My capacity for happiness, you can fit into a matchbox without taking out the matches first'
:-) Douglas, you'll live forever... thank you for 'the guide'.
