Tribute to a Genius

All you have to do to appreciate this man's work is to read, play watch, whatever it. If in reading the HHGTTG you had to die when you finished it I don't expect there are many people who wouldn't accept that fate.
His genius is simple his books are at the same time incredibly basic and vastly complex. Just try getting your head round space-time-continuum. All I can think up is some sort of graph with 4 axis. Try and imagine a world in 4D. But if you read the books you could understand the wit and irony that he uses if you were a 2 year old (metaphorically speaking).
I think, in losing Douglas Adams the world has lost a man with a great genius.
R.E.G.* Douglas Noel Adams, 1952-2001
