The following program is an audio works presentation from Simon and Schuster. Oh, Oh, Oh, The story so far. In the beginning, the universe was created.

This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Many races believe that it was created by some sort of God.

Though the Jatravarted people of Viltvodal 6

firmly believe that the entire universe was in fact sneezed out of the nose of a being called the Great Green Arkel seizure.

He Jatravatids, who live in perpetual fear of the time they call the coming of the great

white handkerchief, are small blue creatures with more than 50 arms each who are therefore unique in being the only race in

history to have invented the aerosol deodorant before the wheel. However, the

great green arkel seizure theory was not widely accepted outside Viltvodal six,

and so one day a race of hyper intelligent, pan-dimensional beings built themselves a gigantic supercomputer called Deep Thought to calculate once and for all the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything.

For seven and a half million years,

deep thought computed and calculated and eventually announced

that the answer was in fact 42.

And so another even bigger computer had to be built to find out what the actual question was.

And this computer, which was called the Earth, was so amazingly large that it was frequently mistaken for a planet,

particularly by the strange ape-like beings who roamed its surface,

totally unaware that they were simply part of a gigantic computer program.

And this is very hard, because without that fairly simple and obvious piece of knowledge,

nothing that ever happened on Earth could possibly have made the slightest bit of sense.

However, at the critical moment of readout, the Earth was unexpectedly demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypass,

and the only native earth people to have survived

the demolition are now being shot at behind a computer bank on the lost
