Vogon ships: "On this particular Thursday, something was moving quietly through the ionosphere many miles above the surface of the planet; several somethings in fact, several dozen huge yellow chunky slablike somethings, huge as office buildings, silent as birds. They soared with ease, basking in electromagnetic rays from the star Sol, biding their time, grouping, preparing." .... "The great ships hung motionless in the air, over every nation on Earth. Motionless they hung, huge, heavy, steady in the sky, a blasphemy against nature. Many people went straight into shock as their minds tried to encompass what they were looking at. The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't."
Heart of Gold: "Beneath it lay uncovered a huge starship, one hundred and fifty metres long, shaped like a sleek running shoe, perfectly white and mindboggingly beautiful. At the heart of it, unseen, lay a small gold box which carried within it the most brain-wretching device ever conceived, a device which made this starship unique in the history of the galaxy, a device after which the ship had been named — The Heart of Gold." http://flag.blackened.net/dinsdale/dna/book1.html (Odds are good that with the collective geek factor assembled here we've purchased in combination enough copies of HHGTTG to distribute to everone in Luxembourg. So don't go busting my chops about copyright.) -Kevin On Thu, 3 Mar 2005 08:14:20 -0600, Kevin Graeme <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The Heart of Gold was the one that looks like flying running shoe. > (Much like many of today's SUVs, curiously enough.)
