Mostly Harmless

Douglas Adams, and also Terry Pratchett, is whackily funny and quite hilarious. I'm reading Mostly Harmless the fifth book of the The Hitch Hiker's Guide to Galaxy 'trilogy'! Though quite not as good as the first three, this book also has its moments. A couple of them:

Everybody has their moment of great opportunity in life. If you happen to miss the one you care about, then everything else in life becomes eerily easy.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
