# Record Name Category Subcategory 1 The Assumption of St. Antwelm Events Fairs and Festivals The Assumption of St. Antwelm An annual feast celebrated by the local people in Saquo-Pilia Hensha, featuring a game called Hunt the Wocket. 2 The Autumn Passage Events Fairs and Festivals The Autumn Passage Festival on the planet Lamuella. "The very best of the meat would be roasted straight away for the feast that marked the Autumn Passage. The celebrations would last for three days of sheer exuberance, dancing and stories that Old Thrashbarg would tell of how the hunt had gone, stories that he would have been busy sitting making up in his hut while the rest of the village was out doing the actual hunting." 3 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Quotes Quotes The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: The first thing to realise about parallel universes is that they are not parallel. It is also important to realise that they are not, strictly speaking, universes either, but it is easiest if you try and realise that a little later, after you've realised that everything you've realised up to that moment is not true. The reason they are not universes is that any given universe is not actually a thing as such, but is just a way of looking at what is technically known as the WSOGMM, or Whole Sort of General Mish Mash. The Whole Sort of General Mish Mash doesn't actually exist either, but is just the sum total of all the different ways there would be of looking at it if it did. 4 Hunt the Wocket Sports Sports Hunt the Wocket Game played at the the annual feast of the Assumption of St. Antwelm, in Saquo-Pilia Hensha. 5 Man on Pole Quotes Quotes Man on Pole Man on Pole: Everything you see or hear or experience in any way at all is specific to you. You create a universe by perceiving it, so everything in the universe you perceive is specific to you. 6 Man on Pole Quotes Quotes Man on Pole Man on Pole: Prayer #1 - Protect me from knowing what I don't need to know. Protect me from even knowing that there are things to know that I don't know. Protect me from knowing that I decided not to know about the things that I decided not to know about. Amen. That's it. It's what you pray silently inside yourself anyway, so you may as well have it out in the open. 7 Man on Pole Quotes Quotes Man on Pole Man on Pole: Prayer #2 - Lord, lord, lord, Protect me from the consequences of the above prayer. Amen. And that's it. Most of the trouble people get into in life comes from missing out that last part. 8 Man on Pole Quotes Quotes Man on Pole Man on Pole: You cannot see what I see because you see what you see. You cannot know what I know because you know what you know. What I see and what I know cannot be added to what you see and what you know because they are not of the same kind. Neither can it replace what you see and what you know, because that would be to replace you yourself. 9 Narrator Quotes Quotes Narrator Narrator: Arthur didn't even know if Lamuella had had a paleozoic era. According to Old Thrashbarg the planet had been found fully-formed in the navel of a giant earwig at four-thirty one Vroonday afternoon, and although Arthur, as a seasoned galactic traveller with good 'O' level passes in Physics and Geography, had fairly serious doubts about this, it was rather a waste of time trying to argue with Old Thrashbarg and there had never been much point before. 10 Narrator Quotes Quotes Narrator Narrator: The ship had come sweeping in over a dark and sombre landscape, a terrain so desperately far removed from the heat and light of its parent sun that it seemed like a map of the psychological scars on the mind of an abandoned child. 11 NowWhattian Boghog Living Things Animals NowWhattian Boghog Animal whose skin was the main trade carried out in the town of OhWell on the planet WhatNow. 12 Perfectly Normal Beast Living Things Animals Perfectly Normal Beast Creature on the planet Lamuella. "Arthur, regarding why perfectly normal beasts are called perfectly normal beasts: Well, I think because otherwise people might think it was a bit odd. I think Old Thrashbarg called them that. He says that they come from where they come from and they go to where they go to and that it's Bob's will and that's all there isto it." 13 Pikka Bird Living Things Birds Pikka Bird Animal from the planet Lamuella. 14 Practical Parenting in a Fractally Demen... Quotes Quotes Practical Parenting in a Fractally Demented Universe Practical Parenting in a Fractally Demented Universe: We live in strange times. We also live in strange places: each in a universe of our own. The people with whom we populate our universes are the shadows of whole other universes intersecting with our own. Being able to glance out into this bewildering complexity of infinite recursion and say things like, 'Oh, hi Ed! Nice tan. How's Carol?' involves a great deal of filtering skill for which all conscious entities have eventually to develop a capacity in order to protect themselves from the contemplation of the chaos through which they seethe and tumble. So give your kid a break, OK? 15 Pterospondes Living Things Animals Pterospondes People used to have pet vastdragons on leads and pterospondes on perches in their offices. 16 Ultragolf Sports Sports Ultragolf Club membership card in Harl's wallet. 17 Untitled Themes Gray Eagle #383f5c #fe429c #808ab2 18 Vastdragons Living Things Animals Vastdragons People used to have pet vastdragons on leads and pterospondes on perches in their offices.
