If you see my shadow...

broadly, I wouldn't say to avoid it, but I'd recommend experiencing Hitchhikers by the books of radio of BBC TV series first

the movie divides the fans of the radio and book series before the movie. It gets some things right, but some things wrong too

"Ten out of ten for a neat idea if it brings you personal joy. But minus several million for implying it was Douglas' intent"

the second quote is real. It's referenced in multiple places including biographies.

and it's "111111" in "Graycode" binary format. Another nice pattern.

yup! This was my earlier attempt at debunking this "true meaning" meme.

quotation marks you mean? Yeah, I noticed that shortly after posting. ah well. nothing is perfect

That's cool. Relevant tangent: Seal in his '94 album wrote about his similar logic and thus why he didn't include lyric sheets on his albums

In other quotes about it, he spoke about wanting it to be ordinary and boring - and felt that excluded odd numbers.

I agree. The major problem with the wildcard interpretation meme is the implication that it was Douglas' intention.

Appears to be a ute - so neither of those things even exist! Body will have to find somewhere else to hide :D

TIL that UK styling was very narrow door frames - which buried has. Knocks out US designs though. 48 Bedford PC is matching best :)

oooh, I can see a lot of similarities there, but (from quick googling) those appear to have a shorter B pillar, and no quarter/vent window?

There was a canvas tent bag in a tree (because floods) closer to the river. We thought that a more likely crime scene to be honest

Oh yeah, we think it's most likely the cab of a ute

The original Mustang was Falcon based, and the Falcon in Australia went on to be made in Ute variant. So the family heritage is there!

I think they're on the same scale as preachy vegans. Anyone fanatical about food is to be wary of.

Close enough for inspiration in my book (plus it's already Rex Manning Day in NZ... that would be more compelling if I was in NZ I guess)

Appropriate username! Lol. Most don't have a specified date for disinternment though!

It doesn't because inhaling isn't directed in the same way exhaling is. (See also: Feynmann's underwater rotating sprinkler question)

ah right. Yes I thought so, so even though it's not a perfect fit, that family link is part of why I used this meme template :)

in the 1987 movie? No, grandfather.

There are plenty of ways a remake could be bad. Some ways it could be great. Savage reading is a requirement IMHO
