Don`t panic! Just blow up the planet

Published 03rd November 2009 - 2 comments - 603 views -

One of my favorite books and the classic in the science fiction genre literally blows your head off. Planets, mice, book, 42 and the rest of the moral coming out of a hyperspeed-friendly-ugly bureaucratic speacy, who writes poetry.

Yea, I know you know what I know. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy of Douglas Adams is unique.

This reminded me how nice it would be, if some crazy alien presses a button, blows up the Earth and then rebuilds it from the exact state of “life”, where it was, but totally new in its internal and external state. Like you are in the Heaven, but without Adam and Eve. In this case all of us we`ll be this two friendly pals, hopefully who won`t eat anymore of the climate change apple. We will have a totally fixed up Earth hardware and if the alien makes some brain changes to the human kind – software too!

Difficult dream, isn`t it? Maybe I shall give a little bit feedback about the detonation part. No, I am not a sadist, though I act that way sometimes. The whole thing comes from the plot of the novel, according to which a crazy, but friendly in some idiotic way “Galactic President” decides to build an intergalactic highway. So, he don`t think a lot and decides to draw a map, according to which unknown characteristics, the road goes exactly through our dear planet. Short road.

Why, you think?

Because of the universe climate issue of course! The president decides to do this ecologically by demolishing the little green (because of the toxic gases) planet. The reason is the great amount of fuel, which spacecrafts would burn if they use another way, around the Earth.

Pufff and we are gone for a week or too. But we have a backup copy! So, they use our Earth flora and fauna and so on backup in the special planets factory, where they build the new updated version of the Earth called: Earth reXPress. XP – from experienced, re – from returned, and ress – from depressed.

What?! Everybody would be depressed if they blow him while he drinks his afternoon tea!

But have in mind, there are always some bugs, but you can`t put a claim. As one guy from a well-known company says: "Don`t worry, the next version would fix the buggs of the previous one!" Yep, but it can have its own, brand new and fresh. Just like the human kind and you never know what will happen after all of the efforts to change the existing one.

Totally smart! Yes, some of you would rather say I`m drifting a little bit away in the story line explanation. So, next time when you think about when the Armageddon comes, don`t PANIC – we have a backup button…42 wink

    I have to admit I haven’t read the ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’, I’ve just seen the movie - and it totally cracked me up, so I can imagine how great the book is.

    Wouldn’t it just be great if we could solve all our issues with the power of imagination?

    I highly recommend it to you. It even has a continuation, but from different author. The movie is terrible in just one word. If you haven`t read the book you might think WTH? It`s just not the same.
