If there's one thing that The Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy has taught me, it's that the Babel Fish is probably the oddest thing in the universe.
Well and that the Earth is mostly harmless...
And that dolphins are far more intelligent than we thought...
Oh, and that the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is the best drink in existence...
And not forgetting that a towel is the most massively useful thing a hitch hiker can carry.

It is important to note that suddenly, and against all probability, a sperm whale had been called into existence, several miles above the surface of an alien planet. And since this is not a naturally tenable position for a whale, this innocent creature had very little time to come to terms with its identity. This is what it thought, as it fell.

The logo for the Best Drink in Existence, invented by Zaphod Beeblebrox himself!
Lovingly hand-made vector graphic, based on the design from the 1981 BBC TV series
“But the plans were on display…”
“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”
“That’s the display department.”
“With a flashlight.”
“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”
“So had the stairs.”
“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” said Arthur,
“Yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”

Hoping to be first against the wall when the revolution comes? Then you’ll want one of these fine Sirius Cybernetics Corp products.
Based on the logo from the 1980s BBC TV series, and tested on only consenting A.I.s
"Looking up into the night sky is looking into infinity—distance is incomprehensible and therefore meaningless." —Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

I’m sure you feel the same way about Thursdays as Arthur Dent – This Must Be Thursday, I can never get the hang of Thursdays.
If you’re a fan of the Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy you’ll know. Oh and I threw in a token towel.

"The very opening of Hitchhiker's Guide tells us how unimportant we all are. It starts with a mix of scientific terms: the western spiral arm of the galaxy is unfashionable, the sun has an unimportant planet at a distance of 92 million miles, and so on. If you know your astronomy, you know that's us. How often do we get a look at our planet from such a cold, distant, scientific viewpoint?"
When Arthur, Marvin, and Fenny (of Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) travelled to see God's Final Message to His Creation, they felt a great sense of peace: "We apologise for the inconvenience."
Share and enjoy the message, too.

Next time you’re at Milliways try a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, it’s effects are similar to “having your brains smashed in by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick”. Created by Zaphod Beeblebrox it’s certainly the Best Drink in Existence.
Another scifi design brought to you by Deep Space Dives.

‘Oh no, not again!’ is the only thought that went through Agrajag’s mind in his very short reincarnation as a bowl of pentunias.
A tribute to Douglas Adams' classic book the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The ideal thing for Towel Day.

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.
