Babelfish doesn't do Norweigan, does it? I just checked, although I could have missed it.

I believe so.  I don't have it with me, though.  I'm at school, it's at home.

I haven't read those books since high school. I may have to dust them off and give them another read, just for the hell of it.

I felt like they kinda petered-off toward the end... like Adams was tired of writing them. I especially didn't like the ending. (Dent dies and the universe unravels, because the Vogons, of all people, want it to?)

I prefer to end with the death of Marvin the paranoid android (after reading God's last message to all of creation), or the book after that one.

The last book left a bad taste in my mouth.

You know, that was a good song. I wonder if there is a soundtrack for that movie???

Yes, it was.  They even pulled in the theme from the old BBC miniseries.
