Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy entries

[juancferrer]

I just got through doing my HS senior research paper on The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and now i have to do this "oral presentation", and i've decided make an actual "guide" that'll kinda explain what to do and not to do/what to expect in the H2G2 worldf. I'll mainly have to have a couple of entries to talk about, and right now i have: Alcohol,
Poetry, President, Towels, Vogon Constructor Fleet, Babel Fish, Robots, Sirius Cybernetics Corporation, Space, Magrathea, Ball Point Pens, Civilization, Dolphins, Smuggling.

Those entries are the ones that i'm actually going to talk about,if you guys/gals pitch in some other good ones, i'll talk about them too, but i'll need your help in giving me a couple more "filler" entries. No "dirty" stuff, cuz this is a HS thing.

*EDIT*
they don't really have to be from the book, they can just be random stuff that you might expect to be in the guide, but keep'em coming anyway

Deep Thought and/or Hactar, the Krikkit Wars, the word "Belgium" (see club scene while they're looking for the Silver Bail), changing grammar for time travel. Just a few

Is The Guide the only book you've read? If so, you might not get the mattress sugjestion.

Yeah, i only read "The Guide" but i'm gonna use the mattress suggestion anyway.

Oh you've only read the first one? Then my post doesn't make much sense. I have trouble distinguishing the books now, I've read them so much.

Krikkit Wars would be good. And don't forget to mention mice.

It doesn't really matter. These extra entries will just be in the presentation, the guests or whomever i'll be presenting this to will see them, but i won't talk about them. I just need more entries, because right now all the ones that i have so far (20 or so), only fill up 2 "slides" in the presentation. I was just expecting a lot more replies from ya'll with a lot more entries like: chicken army, or lightbulbs. crazy stuff like that u know?..i guess i'll just have to come up with a lot more entries by myself :-(

and somehow conclude with this

"It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination."

AHHHH!!! i'm done with my paper!!, this is just some stupid presentation that i have to do. It's just gonna be some crappy flash presentation projected on to a screen, and i guess i'll make it where you can click on some of the entries, and read about it as if it was the "real" guide, and maybe talk about it a bit.
that's a good quote though, i'm not a hater. btw, is that from one of the books, or did you just make it up?
