Nu, lāāāābrīt! :) Vēl tāds mazliet saburzīts 'n' stuff, bet pamodies, izgulējies un diezgan labā omā. :)

Gribēju tikai pateikt, ka, ja man būtu jānosauc visforšākā (I mean - THE BEST one) grāmata, kas jelkad lasīta [ (populār)zinātniski-tehniskā literatūra, protams, neskaitās ], tad tā ir Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy! ABSOLŪTI un VIENBALSĪGI. Un, lai gan jau pati pirmā daļa ir faktiski citējama no vāka līdz vākam (ko es, protams, šeit nevaru atļauties), tad vismaz šis fragments ir reproducēšanas vērts. Lūk, kas notiek, ja ieslēdz Infinite Improbability Drive:

"A computer chattered to itself in alarm as it noticed an airlock open and close itself for no apparent reason. This was because Reason was in fact out to lunch.
A hole had just appeared in the Galaxy. It was exactly a nothingth of a second long, a nothingth of an inch wide, and quite a lot of millions of light-years from end to end.
As it closed up lots of paper hats and party balloons fell out of it and drifted off through the universe. A team of seven three-foot-high market analysts fell out of it and died, partly of asphyxiation, partly of surprise. Two hundred and thirty-nine thousand lightly fried eggs fell out of it too, materializing in a large wobbly heap on the famine-struck land Poghril in the Pansel system..
The whole Porghtil tribe had died out from famine except for one last man who died of cholesterol poisoning some weeks later.
The nothingth of a second for which the hole existed reverberated backwards and forwards through time in most improbable fashion. Somewhere in the deeply remote past it seriously traumatized a small random group of atoms drifting through the empty sterility of space and made them cling together in the most extraordinarily unlikely patterns. These patterns quickly learnt to copy themselves (this was part of what was so extraordinary about the patterns) and went on to cause massive trouble on every planet they drifted on to. That was how life began in the Universe... "

^-^ Uuuuuun!!!! Punkts 1) Es šovakar tikšu pie 2 daļas: "The restaurant at the end of the universe", Punkts 2) Ir vēl sestā daļa šajā triloģijā, kas iznākusi tikai šogad - "..and another thing."
  • :D :D "because Reason was in fact out to lunch" vienkārši ROCKS!!

    Njā, un, of course, galvā momentā skan šī burrrvīgā dziesmiņa: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojydNb3Lrrs :))
  • tu esi klausījies radio versiju? thgttg grāmatas ir radio seriāla adaptācija, un mēdz teikt, ka tas tās ierobežojot. es pats gan laikam vairāk izbaudīju lasīšanu kā klausīšanos
    • visi tik ar to radio versiju. nu, man šajā ziņā laikam vairāk tomēr patīk drukātais formāts. iespējams, angļu akcents mazliet visu pabojā, bet citādi tie ir sīkumi.. šis sāga ir BURRRRRVĪGA. Love it! :)
