I just found out the tragic news that author Douglas Adams passed away on the 12th of this month from a sudden heart attack.

This is an absolute tragedy and I am totally heartbroken to have found this out. He was an extremely intelligent, hilarious, wonderful satirist with an unbelievably powerful imagination.

I spent many, many hours contemplating his work, which enriched my life a great deal and provided me with a completely absurd and beautiful perspective.

'Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.' - Douglas Adams.

RIP.

I do believe the answer is 42.

Time to go Hitch Hiking again...

I'm really going to miss that man's wit.

John, if you're going to go Hitching again, you better know where your towel is.
