Douglas Adams

Douglas Adams has written funny books and I think always will. Here is a segment from the first book in a five book series called the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has a few things to say on the subject of towels. A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand combat; wrap it round you head to word off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you-daft as a brush, but very very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: nonhitchhiker) discovers that a hitchhiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, washcloth, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet-weather gear, space suit ect., ect. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitchhiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitchhiker might have accidentally have "lost." What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through and still know where his towel is, is clearly an man to be reckoned with.

I found a site or two about The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Check these out

Garfield

Garfield or should I say Jim Davis has a way with humor. Who else but Jim could use a cat to answer every day questions about life, plants, dogs and pets. To see one of his comics click here.

Gary Larson

Hey Gary Larson fans. This includes me. In case you did not know he has a new book out entitled There's A Hair In My Dirt (A Worms Story). I looked at it once. It was definitely Larson no doubt about it. Well I have my collection of Larson's cartoons. I have the Far Side Galleries 2, 3, 4, 5 and The PreHistory of The Far Side, Beyond the Far Side, and Unnatural Selections. But beyond all that, I can remember almost every one. People can give me the caption and most of the time I can give the picture or Vise-Versa. After searching for some time I found some Gary Larson Sites. But they were almost always in another language (than English). But aside from that I also found a letter from Gary Larson asking people not to put up his cartoons for legal reasons. But I hope some day he will set up an official web site.

And if you thought they were funny...

Tidbits

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

There is another which states that this has already happened.
