- Our Pet Zeep
And now good night. It is time for sleep. So we will sleep with our pet Zeep. Today is gone. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one. Every day, from here to there, funny things are everywhere.
Dr. Seuss
- Look a Nook
We took a look. We saw a Nook. On his head he had a hook. On his hook he had a book. On his book was "How to cook." We saw him sit and try to cook. He took a look at the book on the hook. But a Nook can't read, so a Nook can't cook. SO... what good to a Nook is a hook cook book.

- Ish wish dish.
I have this dish to help me wish. When I wish to make a wish. I wave my hand with a big swish swish. Then I say, "I wish for fish!" And I get fish right on my dish. So... If you wish to make a wish, you may swish for fish with my Ish wish dish.
Douglas Adams
- Leaders
It is a well known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarise the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.
Douglas Adams
- Oil
The disadvantages involved in pulling lots of black sticky slime from out of the ground where it had been safely hidden out of harm's way, turning it into tar to cover the land with, smoke to fill the air with and pouring the rest into the sea, all seemed to outweigh the advantages of being able to get more quickly from one place to another.
Douglas Adams
- Size of Space
Space, it says, is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.
Douglas Adams
- Listen to Your Mother
You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young." Why, what did she tell you? "I don't know, I didn't listen.
Douglas Adams, "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy"
- Proof Denies Faith
"I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing." "But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves that You exist, and so therefore, by Your own arguments, You don't." "Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic. "Oh, that was easy," says Man.
