    Yep.

    The president’s role here is curious, since his job has little to do with power a lot to do with distracting people from the real sources of power. We’re never told who really has the power in this government. Is it the civil service bureaucracy, which is full of Vogons? Is it corporations, like the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation? We don’t know. All we do know is that power is something Zaphod doesn’t have. After all, this is one of only two footnotes in the entire book.

    I’m really starting to think Adams was onto something with the meaning of life, we turned on the Hadron collider and shit just got weirder for no fucking reason…

    It’s life Life has to be incomprehensible and trying to figure anything out just makes it more confusing:

    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 mentioned, which states that this has already happened.
