So long, and thanks for all the books.
This quiz is dedicated to him ... reply to me please, not to the list :)

1. Douglas Adams suggested the title for a certain rather successful album.
Which one?

2. On the cover of the HHGTG, you will find two words which 'would never be
found on any similar encyclopaedia' and hence make it far more purchaseable
than the Britannica.

3. Long, long ago, there were these beings called the Silastic Armorfiends of
Striterax.  Very ferocious - and you wouldnt want to become their enemy at all.
That said, how would you become their enemy?

4. What would you find - on earth - at the highest point in Nagarkot, Nepal?

5. What would you get when you mix
* 1 1/2 oz. Jack Daniel's Whiskey
* 1 1/2 oz. Seagram's 7 Crown
* 4 1/2 oz. Gin
* 6 oz. Soda Water
* 1 1/2 oz. Peppermint Schnapps
* 1 1/2 oz. Johnnie Walker Red Label Scotch
* Dash of Cinnamon

... shake with ice, and strain into a cocktail glass.  Garnish with an olive.

6. During a poetry recitation by the poetry master of the Azgoths of Kria
(Grunthos the Flatulent), four of his audience died of internal hemorrhaging,
and the President of the Mid-Galactic Arts Nobbling Council survived by gnawing
one of his own legs off.  Now, how did Grunthos die?

7. During HHGTG (the 1981 mini TV series), the book was Peter Jones, Arthur
Dent was Simon Jones ... and Hotblack deSiato's bodyguard was played by a
former weightlifting champ who trained Christopher Reeve for his role in the
first Superman movie.  Who? [hint: he played someone far more famous, in
another galaxy, another time - but someone else did the voice for that
character].
