h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Firstly con grats on issue 1 of Paranoia Post. shush...listen, whats that...did you hear that noise?

it seems to have stopped now.

anyway Re:mostly harmless
the impression i got was that the late Mr Adams was sick and tired of the whole thing by then and just wanted to end the story with no chance of more sequals.
it seems to me that after the first three he thought he had finished but due to popular demand he wrote a fourth to say well OK i'm very flattered but this really is it(so long and thanks for all the fish)
but a demanding public still would not let go.
so in mostly harmless he finished off by destroying the earth in all possible probibilities.



by the way,i am officially paranoid,my doctor told me.


well he didn't actually tell me but i knew he was thinking it.

Thanks. What noise? It might be the Chinese tunnelling underneath us, I've suspected them for years.

I've heard that about Mostly Harmless before. But isn't it possible, even likely, that his demanding public drove him to suicide? And his publishers didn't want such a stain on a popular comedy book, and so hired someone to impersonate him and produce another book? I think that when they saw the result they realised that it wouldn't work very well, and so altered the end so that there would be no possibility of any more books, and published it anyway to scrounge more money.

Or maybe not.

Douglas Adams is dead - and I have proof. All you have to do is look at the front covers of all the editions of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and read "Mostly Harmless" backwards, and you will know for sure.

<BB<

or play the tapes of the radio version backwards. Memorize the whole thing and you will come up with an obvious message. Not only does it tell you that DNA is dead, but tells you who the *real* US president is.

n o w everything makes sense! who had thought that Dozaf Skorblebeeb, superficially renowned and ordinary member of our society, is in reality such an important and powerful being?

You seemed to get the gist of it a little *too* quickly, spoon. You're in on it, aren't you? You're part of the conspiracy. Jazz lyricist huh? It's a cover.

*scans both spoon and DWM with a metal detector*

Is that a gun under your jacket, doctor?

No, I'm just pleased to see you.

*acknowledges the correct counter-password and admits DWM into the cult*

I hear that George Bush has died.

Is that George 'Dubya' Bush, or George '' Bush?

Is this the place to discuss the Chris Tarrant / Victor Meldrew conspiracy?

Look chaps, an italic. Do you think she's been sent to check up on us?
Big brother is watching us...

How can I be a Trojan Horse if I don't arrive in disguise?

Ah, how do we know that you're not another researcher as well? And you use, say, the alias 'Doctor Wonky Mungbean' as a way of watching me and making sure I don't go too far with the ParanoiaPost?

Chris Tarrant? The conspiracy that says he's actually an alien first wave attack force, sent to numb our minds and reduce our brains to water? Or the one that says they fixed the questions last night to make it easier, and have a higher winner?

I've seen the questions they used last night, it's true, they are easier than normal.

And did you notice how a toff won the million quid? See, thats the powers that be making sure that all the money stays with the rich. Thats so they can afford to send Abi in to check up on us. Or something.

This post has been removed.

*sniggers uncontrollably*

Hey, I wonder how long it will be before hoards of Americans descend on the ParanoiaPost, claiming it to be a voice of truth and wisdom...

I think the Americans are in on it all as well.

and the rich. being a doctor at barts A n d winning 5 thousand quids in the lottery is ..aam.. a bit suspicious to say the least.

...

If not conspicious.

...

If not a damned good reason to immediatly change into a state of a bit of healthy good old paranoia of excellent craftmamsship.
*hides behind paper*

*peers over edge of paper*
