Douglas Adams Tapestries

The Ultimate Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe.....and Everything

Marvin the Paranoid Android is a fictional character in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series by Douglas Adams. Marvin is the ship's robot aboard the starship Heart of Gold. Originally built as one of many failed prototypes of Sirius Cybernetics Corporation's GPP (Genuine People Personalities) technology, Marvin is afflicted with severe depression and boredom, in part because he has a "brain the size of a planet" which he is seldom, if ever, given the chance to use. Indeed, the true horror of Marvin's existence is that no task he could be given would occupy even the tiniest fraction of his vast intellect. Marvin claims he is 50,000 times more intelligent than a human (or 30 billion times more intelligent than a live mattress).

Mattresses are large, friendly creatures that live quiet private lives in the marshes of Squornshellous Zeta. Many of them get caught, slaughtered, dried out, shipped out and slept on. None of them seem to mind this and all of them are called Zem.

"The ships hung in the sky in much the way that bricks don't." At least, that's what Douglas Adams has to say about the Vogon ships. But what about the Helicarrier? Well, let's just say it's not like Mjölnir. mezzotessitura.storenvy.com

Don't Panic

For every fail whale there is a failing and falling bowl of petunias.

I got 42 problems, but the answer to the ultimate question of Life, the Universe and everything ain't one

“You must come with me or you will be late!”. “Late? What for?”. “What is your name, human?”. “Dent, Arthur Dent.” “Late as in the late Dent Arthur Dent. It's a sort of threat, you see.”

So long and thanks for all the fish

Don't panic! The answer is 42!

ALL OF THE EQUATIONS in this design are REAL and not random numbers. I am sure mathematicians, physicists, etc will be very happy.

Panic Attacks? Have a plan of action!

“Don’t Panic.” Homage to the novel. Adapted from a graphic image by Dan S.

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

“I happen to like fjords, I think they give a lovely baroque feel to a continent”.

If there's one thing that The Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy has taught me, it's that the Babel Fish is probably the oddest thing in the universe. Well and that the Earth is mostly harmless... And that dolphins are far more intelligent than we thought... Oh, and that the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is the best drink in existence... And not forgetting that a towel is the most massively useful thing a hitch hiker can carry.

...and thanks for all the fish!

How many roads must a man walk down?

Disaster Area are a plutonium rock band from the Gagrakacka Mind Zones and are generally regarded as not only the loudest rock band in the Galaxy, but also as being the loudest noise of any kind at all. Disaster Area are fronted by the incredibly rich humanoid, Hotblack Desiato who incidentally once spent a year dead for tax reasons.

The answer to life, the universe and everything!

Marvin and his views on life...
