Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on July 12, 2002, 01:51:10 pm
Considering the fact that most of you here are fans of Doug Adams' Hitchhikers Guide to th Galaxy, I decided to post a little quiz, so here it is. If any of you can think of some more questions, I'll gladly try and answer them myslef.

1. In the radio series, what was Slartibartfast origianlly to be called?

2. How do Vogon ships hang in the air? (TV Series)

3. what does the Nutri-Mat machine give Arthur Dent? (Radio)

4. Who does Arthur cause war between? (Radio and TV)

5. And what happens to their fleets? (Radio and TV)

6. What is Zaphod's full title? (Radio)

7. What was caused by an accident with a contraceptive and a time machine? (Radio)

8. What happens to the nuclear missiles above Magrathea?

I will post the answers after a while. Share and Enjoy!

Considering how you're posting a questionnaire about a humor series that has nothing to do with modding, stupid posts, or questionnaires, you shouldn't be questioning others' choice in content.:rolleyes:

1. Don't know
2. Very much in the same way as bricks don't
3. Ehh... a liquid almost completely, but not entirely unlike tea?
4. Bllhrgghs and G'gagvants. Or that's like they sound like to me anyway :p
5. They are swallowed by a small dog
6. Not a clue. The president of the universe?
7. ??
8. The first one turns into a whale, and the second one into a bowl of petunias

Most of those are translated from finnish, so they be a bit different that the originals.

Since this thread is getting many views but very few replies, here are the answers.

1. Phartiphukborlz
2. Exactly the way that bricks don't
3. A liquid that is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.
4. The Gugugvants and the Vl'Hurgs
5. They are accidentally swallowed by a small dog
6. President of the Imperial Galactic Government (the term Imperial is kept, though it is now an anachronism.)
7. Zaphod's father being ZB the 2nd, his grandfather being ZB the 3rd, and so on. (And I don't mean Zylon Bane)
8. One becomes an innocent sperm whale, and the other a bowl of petunias.

Oh and stryke 9, "has nothing to do with modding"

Quote from UT's Another Day At HLP,
Newbie 1: WOW? what does that have to do with modding?
