Douglas Adams's run-on-sentence
Last night I had a dream that I was at a Skeptics Society meeting, sitting next to Richard Dawkins, trying to explain to him that I'd always wanted to tell him how touching his two tributes to Douglas Adams are (which is true in real life ...) when suddenly, the meeting turned into some sort of court of law where the crime of copyright infringement was being dealt with by Kindergarteners in barrister outfits. Now, I'm currently re-reading sections of HGTG, esp. the chapters about the Marketing Division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation (chapter 11) and dolphins (chapter 23), which probably created the stimulus for the dream ... (& by the way, the topic of dreams, if you're familiar with my career as a blogger, you'd know is something I never write about - but now it gives me an excuse to embed this lovely program below, which I'm told is the "South Bank Show 355 Douglas Adams (920105).divx" whatever that may be ...)
