A Challenging Quote from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams

This quote was added by afbwelter
Vogon poetry is of course the third worst in the Universe. The second worst is that of the Azgoths of Kira. During a recitation by their Poet Master Grunthos the Flatulent of his poem "Ode to a Small Lump of Putty I Found in my Armpit Last Midsummer Morning" four of his audience died of internal hemorrhaging, and the President of the Mid-Galactic Arts Nobbling Council survived by gnawing one of his own legs off.

I presume this is from a US edition but do they really spell it as hemorrhaging instead of haemorrhaging in overseas editions?

Also reminds me of my childhood, and of why I type in lowercase for anything that doesn't serve a professional purpose

Thanks for an enjoyable memory! Hitchhiker's Guide was a favorite back in my teen reading days. And, yes, with the caps, quotes, and oddball names, it is truly challenging to do quickly. Myself, I typed it slowly so as not to miss the laughs.
