I absolutely adore anyone that quotes Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy!

I agree with DG, but guessing it is water soluble. In any event, I would have loved the pleasure of assisting in the cleanup.

Thank you Lauren.

The pics that have come from the Hubble Space Telescope have been nothing short of amazing. Can't wait to see what the James Webb telescope finds. We are in for a real treat at that point!

I'll be posting a link to the full gallery soon, and will answer your question in that post. An amusing story.

I painted my whole body and pressed myself up against canvas

If I remember correctly, thr original pictures are actually black and white, and are colored in by artists.

True?

Thanks for the correction.

I would love Pixar to do an animated 4 part movie.

One of the best series of books I've ever read. Brilliant cultural satire with elegantly woven subthemes. As a rule I never read a book twice but this series may be an exception (along with the Master and Margarita).
