"In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move."

Douglas Adams

"In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri."

Douglas Adams

"The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't."

Douglas Adams

"Ah, this is obviously some strange usage of the word 'safe' that I wasn't previously aware of."

Douglas Adams

“He was a dreamer, a thinker, a speculative philosopher...or, as his wife would have it, an idiot.”

Douglas Adams

“'This must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays.'”

Douglas Adams

“The Guide is definitive. Reality is frequently inaccurate.”

Douglas Adams

“Arthur: 'It's at times like this I wish I'd listened to my mother.' Ford : 'Why, what did she say?' Arthur: 'I don't know, I never listened.'”

Douglas Adams

“He hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife.”

Douglas Adams

“Ford, you're turning into a penguin. Stop it.”

Douglas Adams

“It is known that there are an infinte number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely products of a deranged imagination.”

Douglas Adams

"A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools."

Douglas Adams

"He hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife."

<dl><dt class="quote">"I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:
1. Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that's invented between when you're fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things."</dt><dt class="quote">

Douglas Adams

</dt></dl>"There are two things in particular that it [the computer industry] failed to foresee: one was the coming of the Internet(...); the other was the fact that the century would end."

Douglas Adams

Well, I think I will stop here. If I don't, I will end quoting each and every phrase uttered by Douglas Adams. Other funny quotes I know are in Spanish, and the funny part willl be probably lost in the translation
