A bit off topic here now lads. :offtopic: But to keep it on track, maybe Pete's chocolate sprayer could be used, after re-programming, to clean up after us all so that we can live in a sterile environment, where if the one percent bug gets inside, and we catch it and of course die, it can then spray us so that we too disappear. Just imagine it, from a lowly chocolate name maker, to a world with nothing in it but modified chocolate sprayers. Now THAT is being silly :lol: |

IIRC, Arthur Dent encountered a world populated solely with hairdressers, telephone sanitisers and estate agents..... and the world that the telephone sanitisers had all been deported from had all its population wiped out by a bug fom one single telephone which a lazy sanitiser had missed.....

I read that part of HHGTTG differently: I figured the bug evolved/grew on a dirty telephone & wiped out the entire planet; thus whilst "telephone sanitiser" was seen as a useless occupation, it turned out to be not so useless after all... But, at any rate, I suspect the part you're actually thinking of is from a later book (Restaurant, IIRC), where on a desolate planet who's name I now forget, it turns out that an ever growing number of shoe-shops turning out ever crappier shoes eventually passed the "shoe event horizon", society collapsed & the planet was abandoned. |
