"Douglas Adams will be burning as we speak... "

Ah, that religious love and forgives we hear so much about. (mainly from the religious).

Great words from Douglas though. You are missed my friend.

Anyone know what that cool music playing in the background is?

[TBlake34]

I hope whenever my time comes I get to burn along side him.

A lot more entertaining than harp music and abstinence.

Song in the background (which totally makes the great statements in DNA's argument hard to follow) is "Who Am I" by Peace Orchestra.

"The Salmon of Doubt" is a great book/audiobook, and shows just how much of a brilliant man Douglas was...

[Peter Church]

Do not fear Douglas. I shall not wither away like a puddle.

[Simen Eriksen]

I would love to hear this in Douglas Adams voice. The guy reading it kind of has the wrong tone.
