The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy (yes, it does exist)

I haven't posted anything in a while, so I hope that this nice post warms you up a little bit this cold day.  My first words to you are:


Figure 1: Marvin the Parinoid Andriod (maybe I'll tell you more later...)

The story is on where "don't panic" comes from, and what it has to do with anything. Over the break, I got the book: The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide, which is a collection of 5 books + 1 bonus story. The collection of books are all part of the 'Hitchhiker Series' as I'll call it. Right now, I am on book three, Life, the Universe, and Everything, meaning that I have finished The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and The Restaurant at the End of the Universe. There are still three more books to read, housing the titles: So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish, Mostly Harmless, and the bonus story: Young Zaphod Plays it Safe. If the titles lose you, then please stop reading before I bore you to death. If you have already read the series, and I say something wrong, please feel free to correct.

The first book in which i have already given the title for introduces you to Arthur Dent, and his companion, Ford Prefect, who works a a researcher for the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The first words one would see when they look at the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy are "Don't Panic". Also, according to the guide to the guide at the beginning of the book, Ford's name was meant to be a joke, but flew over most of the audience's heads. Ford saves Arthur when Earth is destroyed by Vogons to make a hyperspace bypass. They end up trapped on one of the Vogon ships, and the captain comes, and reads them poetry. During the book there are many points at which the main story-line is interrupted by a bit of text from The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy, which is always represented in italics. These bits of text often seem unneeded, but they help you understand what is going on, so, read them. It states that the Vogons' poetry is the third worst in the galaxy, and gives info on the second worst, and the worst poet in the galaxy. The book continues, and is quite funny. As Dent. and Ford are about to die after being tossed into space, they are picked up by the Heart Of Gold, which is a star-ship powered by the infinite improbability drive, which is described later by the guide. Here, the other characters are introduced. They are: Zaphod Breeblebrox, the cousin of Ford, another Human from Earth, and Marvin, the depressed robot pictured in figure 1 for a movie. 

The next part of the book is very interesting. It tells about the answer to life the universe and everything. Since it is hard to describe, I will tell the summery via story. the Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy discloses that Humans are only the third most intelligent beings on Earth. They are second to dolphins, who managed to leave Earth right before it was destroyed, and some small white creature that we all know... Our characters land on the legendary planet of Magrathea. The people here custom built planets for those who could afford. One man tells of a computer called Deep Thought, which gave hyper-intellegent para dimentional beings (mice) the answer to life the universe, and everything,

and the design for the computer which will give the question to the answer. (Earth). This is only a fraction of what the book can tell however, and I will gladly tell more if asked, but for now, I am done.
