THIS JUST CAME IN OVER THE TUBE. BETTER PREPARE YOURSELVES. GOT YOUR TOWELS?
Don't blame me for the content. But, I'm getting my Babel fish ready.
My towel is dry.

Subject: The End of the World, Thursday 5ZSeptember, 1985!

Organization: Terminus Hospital, Incorporated
Well, the bad news is that all signs point to the arrival of the
Vogon constructor fleets this Thursday, to wit:
In Life, the Universe, and Everything, Douglas Adams forcast the
destruction of earth to occur the Thursday following a victory by
England in the test series for the Ashes against Australia in the
decade of the 1980's in England.
To-day the English look pretty much assured of a major victory
(upset) against the Australians in the last test at the Oval. It may
already be over as I am typing this. Furthermore, the Australians
do not return for a test series for the Ashes to England until 1990.
The actual destruction wioll taken place on the Thursday following the
Test at noon BST, 7AM on the East Coast (I will be driving to work, my
car stereo ought to be fixed by then, so I should hear the notice
clearly!).
So long folks, it looks like this is it.
PS A sofa did appear and disappear to-day at the Oval, interrupting
play.
I guess NJN won't be showing Hartnell, Troughton, & Colin Baker after
all.

Maybe they'll want one of your women to experiment on, perhaps
I shall take this one to them!
-who said it, what story? (Get the reply to me by Thursday!)

will end. What do they do the morning after?

| The world did, in fact, end. The outcome of the Krikkit was
irrelevant. The guys with the signs just repainted the date on
them. The world will restart, if fate is against us, when we have
all recovered from last night's Chicken Byriani/Sag Rol. I have
not...
excuse me please .....
