OT--So long, and thanks for...

[Zeynep Dilli / 'Morwen']

I was staying at a friend's place last night, sleeping on her
living room couch. I woke up to her calling my name--I raised my
head, and she said 'Douglas Adams is dead.'

As the man responsible for my getting caught up in the whole Sci-fi genre, I
can only say so long, sir, and may you ever be remembered for the joy you
bought to us all.

When I first decided to get into reading for pleasure (rather than school) I
started with his books. It is so sad to see such a young and talanted man pass
on. May we always cherish the words he shared with with the world.

Julia asked me to share this bit with you all related to this particlar thread
(she's having a hard time posting here right now):

Asteroid Arthurdent (18610) named on day of Douglas Adam's death

From Reiner M. Stoss <rst...@hrz1.hrz.tu-darmstadt.de>

Dear Dr. Peiser,

You may have heard the sad news that Douglas Adams passed away last Friday.
By accident on the same day the naming of minor planet (18610) Arthurdent
was announced by the Minor Planet Center.
We wanted to make Mr. Adams a joy, but did never dare to think that he
wouldn't be able to receive this surprise, when we sent our name proposal to
the MPC a few months back.

The name was proposed by Felix Hormuth of Starkenburg Observatory, who
discovered this minor planet on 1998 Feb. 7

Best Regards,
Reiner Stoss
Starkenburg Observatory

(18610) Arthurdent = 1998 CC2
Discovered 1998 Feb. 7 at Starkenburg Observatory.
The earthling Arthur Dent is confronted with the adversities of life,
the universe and everything in a highly amusing and entertaining way in
Douglas Adams' famous five-volume trilogy "The Hitch Hiker's Guide to
the Galaxy".
