Good one's from Doughlas Adams

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof was to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools."

On the planet earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons."

Curiously enough, the dolphins had long known of the impending destruction of the planet Earth and had made many attempts to alert mankind to the danger; but most of their communications were misinterpreted as amusing attempts to punch footballs or whistle for tidbits, so they eventually gave up and left the Earth by their own means shortly before the Vogons arrived."

"It is known that there is 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 universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the product of a deranged imagination."

"The knack of flying is to throw yourself at the ground and miss."

The history of every major galactic civilization has passed through three distinct and recognisable phases: those of survival, inquiry, and sophistication. Otherwise known as the ‘How’, ‘Why’, and ‘Where’ phases. For instance, the first phase is characterised by the question: “How can we eat?” The second by the question: “Why do we eat?” And the third by the question: “Where should we have lunch?”

"CLIXBY (adj.) Politely rude. Briskly vague. Firmly uninformative."

Douglas Adams wrote an ad for Apple. It goes like this: 'Macintosh - We might not get everything right, but at least we knew the century was going to end.' (Mac systems didnt suffer Y2K)

"A learning experience is one of those things that says, 'You know that thing you just did? Don't do that.'"

And the ever so popular "I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by."

Hey all

It's been a long time since I have been regular with blogging, and fact that I use to do it everyday, it makes me wonder why did i stop, one reason was not much time with lot's happening around. But now I plan to be really active and regular on this site and you are going to see regular update's on books and movies on very active basis.

Take care and happy reading!
