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

For me what happenned to thw two missiles and waht they thought after being so improbably turned into objects that were not missiles and had absoloutely no place 300 miles above the surface of a forgotten planet, is the best bit of the HitchHiker's guide ot the galxy, and perhaps the opening on the radio series.

Yes. I love the whale.

"Ground! I wonder if it'll be friends with me."

The follow through on the petunias/Agrajag was a fun discovery in the books.

The whale is the passage I use to get dubious friends to read the series.

I always hoped that the "other story" that was promised would be in a later book.

While the Arajag case was obviously intended to explain stuff, I remember reading Douglas saying somewhere that some stuff that happens later in the Hitchhiker story accidentaly explained stuff that happened earlier. -Spooky.

I can't remember what was said about the petunias and the whale but it was something like "That will be explained later."

I always wanted to read *that* story!
