[8:37:37 PM] elsdragon.the.dragon: Don't Panic
For other uses, see Don't panic.

Towel with the words "Don't Panic" on Towel dayIn the series, Don't Panic is a phrase written on the cover of the The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.[23] The novel explains that this was partly because the device "looked insanely complicated" to operate, and partly to keep intergalactic travelers from, well, panicking.[24] It is said that despite its many glaring (and occasionally fatal) inaccuracies, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy itself has outsold the Encyclopedia Galactica because it is slightly cheaper, and because it has the words "Don't Panic" in large, friendly letters on the cover.[23]

In the novel's typography, the words "DON'T PANIC" always are typeset in uppercase.

Much like "42" and "knowing where your towel is",[25] the words sometimes are used among fans of the books and radio series to show that they have this passion in common.[citation needed]

Arthur C. Clarke said Douglas Adams' use of "don't panic" was perhaps the best advice that could be given to humanity.[26]
[8:38:19 PM] GrandpaJohn(Tanker): roger that

[8:38:34 PM] elsdragon.the.dragon: The Guide relates that the words "Share and Enjoy" were displayed in illuminated letters three miles high near the Sirius Cybernetics Complaints Department, until their weight caused them to collapse through the underground offices of many young executives. The upper half of the sign that now protrudes translates in the local tongue as "Go stick your head in a pig", and is only lit up for special celebrations

[8:47:14 PM] elsdragon.the.dragon: Deep Thought is a computer that was created by the pan-dimensional, hyper-intelligent race of beings (whose three dimensional protrusions into our universe are ordinary white mice) to come up with the Answer to The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. Deep Thought is the size of a small city. When, after seven and a half million years of calculation, the answer finally turns out to be 42, Deep Thought admonishes Loonquawl and Phouchg (the receivers of the Ultimate Answer) that "[he] checked it very thoroughly, and that quite definitely is the answer. I think the problem, to be quite honest with you is that you've never actually known what the question was."

Deep Thought does not know the ultimate question to Life, the Universe and Everything, but offers to design an even more powerful computer (Earth; see Earth in fiction) to calculate it. After ten million years of calculation, the Earth is destroyed by Vogons five minutes before the computation is complete.
[8:48:12 PM] GrandpaJohn(Tanker): yea.
[8:48:21 PM] elsdragon.the.dragon: everytime I read that

[8:48:39 PM] elsdragon.the.dragon: The quadruped Dish of the Day is an Ameglian Major Cow, a Ruminant specifically bred to not only have the desire to be eaten, but to be capable of saying so quite clearly and distinctly. When asked if he would like to see the Dish of the Day, Zaphod replies: "let's meet the meat." The Major Cow's quite vocal and emphatic desire to be consumed by Milliways' patrons greatly distresses Arthur Dent, and the Dish is nonplussed by a queasy Arthur's subsequent order of a green salad, since he knows "many vegetables that are very clear" on the point of not wanting to be eaten which was part of the reason for the creation of the Ameglian Major Cow in the first place. After Zaphod orders four rare steaks, the Dish announces that he is nipping off to the kitchen to shoot himself. Though he states, "I'll be very humane," this does not comfort Arthur at all.
[8:49:33 PM] GrandpaJohn(Tanker): haha!. oh man..

[8:51:27 PM] Beck(Degeneratesauce): i know
[8:51:33 PM] elsdragon.the.dragon: I mean, yes idealism, yes the dignity of pure research, yes, the pursuit of truth in all its forms, but there comes a point I'm afraid where you begin to suspect that if there's any real truth it's that the entire multi-dimensional infinity of the Universe is almost certainly being run by a bunch of maniacs; and if it comes to a choice between spending another ten million years finding that out and on the other hand just taking the money and running, I for one could do with the exercise[2]
[8:51:36 PM] Beck(Degeneratesauce): But having it on tape? cool

[8:54:21 PM] elsdragon.the.dragon: An enterprising chap who addressed the problem of elevators refusing to operate because they had been afforded a degree of prescience (to facilitate their operation by allowing them to be waiting for you before you've even decided you want to go up or down a floor) but consequently became terrified of the future, and so taken to hiding in basements. Mincefriend became very wealthy when he patented and successfully marketed a device he had seen in a history book: the staircase
[8:55:08 PM] GrandpaJohn(Tanker): the satire of these books is just priceless
[8:55:29 PM] Beck(Degeneratesauce): it really is
[8:55:36 PM] elsdragon.the.dragon: The telephone sanitizeran early 1920s British colloquialism for a workman actually employed to clean toilets and bathrooms,[6] though used in its literal meaning hereis involved in the plot thread relating to the planet Golgafrincham in the novel The Restaurant at the End of the Universe. Ironically, after all the telephone sanitizers were sent away with the rest of the "useless" Golgafrinchans, the rest of the society died off from an infectious disease contracted from an unsanitized telephone.

[8:56:25 PM] elsdragon.the.dragon: The guide recites a tale of how, during a reading of his poem Ode To A Small Lump Of Green Putty I Found In My Armpit One Midsummer Morning, "four of the audience died of internal hemorrhaging and the president of the Mid-Galactic Arts Nobbling Council survived only by gnawing one of his own legs off."

Reportedly "disappointed" by the reception of his poem, Grunthos then prepared to read his 12-book epic, My Favourite Bathtime Gurgles (or Zen And The Art Of Going To The Lavatory in episode 2 of the TV series). He was prevented from doing so when his small intestine leapt up his neck and throttled his brain in a desperate bid to save civilization, killing him.

[9:07:31 PM] elsdragon.the.dragon: That bowl of petunias turned out to be vitally important to the books plotline
[9:07:36 PM] elsdragon.the.dragon: you just dont know it yet
[9:11:35 PM] elsdragon.the.dragon: In fact, when you DO know why the bowl of petunias though "Oh no, Not again"
