Author Topic: Douglas Adams Michael Barry Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 584 From: Sydney, NSW, Australia Registered: Nov 1999 posted 05-14-2001 02:28 PM                     I just found out the tragic news that author Douglas Adams passed away on the 12th of this month from a sudden heart attack. This is an absolute tragedy and I am totally heartbroken to have found this out. He was an extremely intelligent, hilarious, wonderful satirist with an unbelievably powerful imagination. I spent many, many hours contemplating his work, which enriched my life a great deal and provided me with a completely absurd and beautiful perspective. 'Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.' - Douglas Adams. RIP.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 05-14-2001 02:50 PM                        Sad news for fellow Hitch Hikers. ------------------ John P.
