"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.

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]
Now the jurpling slayjid agrocrustles,
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". ;)

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. But 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: 'Ahhh! Whoa! 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...

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy has a few things to say on the subject of towels.
Here are 42 things you could use a towel for. Why 42? It just seemed right, its not like it has any cosmic significance or anything.
