Harmless

Revised Version by Ford Prefect

Mostly Harmless

According to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy of books, Ford Prefect was a researcher for a book called The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. He had only come to Earth for a week, yet was stranded there for 15 years. While on Earth, Ford Prefect wrote a new entry for Earth containing lots of information including "Yoghurt on Greek Islands", "Restaurants to avoid in los Angeles" and "Tips for aliens in New York". Unforunately, the editor "had to trim it a bit" and "Mostly Harmless" was the final result.
