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

It almost feels like I've lost a member of my own family. I first read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy when I was about eight years old. It's affected how I percieve the world ever since, luckily. The realization that the universe ultimately has a sense of humor is an important one, and I realize it more every day.
A large piece of that humor has died. It was a sense of humor that was intelligent, but silly at times because life is both. Most humor is either entirely silly, so you laugh but you walk away with an empty feeling, or intelligent, so your mind appreciates it but it lacks good hearty laughs that make you feel so good.
I always try to look for the bright side to any event. In this I think its the influx of new members to this site, build up the culmination of a drunken thought that was a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. This is a legacy that has the potential to change the world. It doesn't affect all those laughs we'll miss without DNA. I part of me likes to think and hope that DNA is already writing his next book, so we'll all have a hilarious guide to whatever lies beyond, and we'll all get together and research that guide as well.
