		In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (published in 1979), the characters visit the legendary planet Magrathea, home to the now-collapsed planet building industry, and meet Slartibartfast, a planetary coastline designer who was responsible for the fjords of Norway.
		Hitchhiker's has also appeared as a stage show, three LP albums with condensed (and slightly contradictory) versions of the first six radio episodes, a text-only adventure computer game, and three series of comic books (with a set of collectors' cards spun off containing art from and inspired by, the first set of comics).
		Hitchhiker's references have also appeared in several series and episodes of another famous British science fiction series with which Adams was once affiliated: Doctor Who.

	math lessons - Towel
		Douglas Adams challenged this when The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy attained cult status in the 1980s.
		He described his characters travelling around his universe, often as hitchhikers, finding that towels were the most "massively useful" objects they could carry.
		The fictitious time/space traveller and Guide Researcher Ford Prefect uses the idiom "a frood who really knows where his towel is" to mean someone generally alert and aware, someone who in 1960s Earth slang might have called "with it".

	The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams Detailed Book Review
		The basic plot of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that Arthur Dent wakes up to find his house is about to be knocked down to build a road.
		Arthur Dent is the last human in the galaxy after Earth is destroyed thanks to the Vogon Constructor Fleet that clears the planet away to make room for an interstellar highway.
		In The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, Arthur Dent is spared complete annihilation in the destruction of the earth, an atrocity to humans, but a necessary step in an ongoing galctic public works project.

		His dense lyrical patterns and cultural references are praised as genius.
		In any one song, he’ll take the topic he begins with and flip it around a dozen times through vague references and name dropping (Blink and you’ll miss the mention of Fugazi - proof enough that the man is into much more than just hip hop).
		With movies like The Woodsmen, Monsters Ball, The Italian Job, and The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, this assumption may not be too far off.

	THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY (PG [PG]): CAP Movie Ministry Entertainment Media Analysis Report MAR25033
		Aided by robot with a bulbous head, Arthur (still in his pajamas and bathrobe plus one towel), Ford, Tricia and Zaphod travel the galaxy in search of an answer, er, rather a question for super-computer Deep Thought (voice of Helen Mirren) to ponder the mysteries of the universe.
		Along the way, the quartet encounter many critters such as the self-demeaning, insecure robot Marvin (voice of Alan Rickman) and the Vogons who are huge pig-faced, bureaucratic gluttons who lust after all manner of bureaucratic frustration who torture their victims by reading tasteless poetry to them.
		As always, it is best to refer to the Findings/Scoring section -- the heart of the CAP analysis model -- for the most complete assessment possible of this movie.

		Trillian, aka Tricia McMillan, a beautiful girl Arthur had met at a party in Islington and went off with a two-headed party crasher who claimed to be from outer space before Arthur could ask her for her phone number.

	The Templeton Gate - Television - Joss Whedon's Firefly
		Atmo is short for atmosphere, usually used in reference to the atmosphere of a planet or terraformed moon, but it was also used at times to refer to the air inside the ship itself.
		Some are saying that the production number of the episode should be the deciding factor, but I see no reason not to accept the order as presented on the DVD set.
		It might be true that a couple of the unaired episodes contain references back to other eps, but the last one on the DVD ("Objects in Space") was the last one FOX aired before they finally got around to showing the original pilot.
