Re: A86: Account Abuse
This is why the real ruler of the galaxy can't be anyone who wants to do
it; they have to pick someone who doesn't want the job, and stick him
alone on an isolated planet with a cat (at least I think it was a cat).
If you have no idea what I'm talking about, pick up a copy of The
Hitckhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Acutally, that was probably in The
Restaurant at the End of the Universe... it's been a while.
