WOW!)

Those of you who read this electronically can get better entertainment by typing "fortune -o". None of the examples I read were funny. I even searched for humour or satire or semantic content and didn't find any at all. Don't bother buying this if you find it, just wait for it to be remaindered at $.09 at some discount bookhouse. Then you can pass it up and feel really smug. My Rating: .5 out of 5 P.S. The "real" Adams books all rate 4.0+ out of 5. Go spend your money on another copy of those. P.P.S. I suspect Adams' towel wore out and he sold LIFF to get the money to buy a new one. Either that or he had too many GargleBlasters -- Stephen Perelgut Computer Systems Research Group University of Toronto Usenet: {linus, ihnp4, allegra, decvax, floyd}!utcsrgv!perelgut CSNET: perelgut@Toronto
