“I teleported home last night with Ron and Sid and Meg
Ron stole Meggy's heart away and I got Sidney's leg.”

"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.”

“There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly
what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear
and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.”

“The major problem—
one of the major problems, for there are
several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of
whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let
them do it to them.
To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must
want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
To
summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made
President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”

“It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because
there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not
every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number
of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near
to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the
planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows
that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any
people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a
deranged imagination.”
