If you’re anything like Zaphod Beeblebrox (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) you don’t actually have A heart of gold, so you stole it so you could have THE heart of gold. Which might be just as good because it can do some pretty cool stuff.
Powered by an Infinite Improbability Drive the Heart of Gold is the only ship that Zaphod could use to get to Magrathea, in style.
Another design that’s part of my ‘Weird Scifi Quotes’ collection.

Oh freddled gruntbuggly,
Thy micturitions are to me,
As plurdled gabbleblotchits,
On a lurgid bee,
That mordiously hath blurted out,
Its earted jurtles,
Into a rancid festering confectious organ squealer. [drowned out by moaning and screaming]

Are slurping hagrilly up the axlegrurts,
And living glupules frart and slipulate,
Like jowling meated liverslime,
Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turling dromes,
And hooptiously drangle me,
With crinkly bindlewurdles,
Or else I shall rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon,
See if I don’t.
For those wondering: "IP BD" stands for "Iambic Pentameter Be Damned". ;)

What's happening? Who am I? Why am I here? What's my purpose in life? What do I mean by 'who am I'? Okay, okay, calm down, calm down, get a grip now. Ooh, this is an interesting sensation. What is it? It's a sort of a tingling in my... well, I suppose I better start finding names for things. Let's call it a... tail! Yeah! Tail! And hey, what's this roaring sound, whooshing past wh...
