I just finished watching the movie (not bad at all, even if not completely true to the books) and I missed Zaphod saying that.
I can't believe that there have been 22 new posts since I turned on the movie....

The radio show, the books, the CDs, the videotape, the TV series, the movie and the DVD were all different. The scene is Milliways - the Restaurant at the End of the Universe. The speaker is, indeed, Zaphod Beeblebrox. He also asks the maitre d' for the telephone - "hand me the rap-rod, plate captain". This is in the radio series and in the book (The Restaurant at the End of the UniVerse) and the CDs, but not in the other media.
Now, who knows who Agrajag is (from the same series)?

thread transmutation"

Ray,
the thread police aren't going to catch us. We're on a mission from God
That, or how about "It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses. We are ready to do some serious DataStage consultation."

John Belushi and Dan would be quite the DataStage team. I might consider the sunglasses as a way to distinguish our members....
From another movie of our generation "Who are those guys".....

I don't recognize that quote, but I think if we continue along this vein someone is going to put us on double secret probation

Wondering are you all on a mission to win the most replied topic in the history of men award?

Wouldn't be the first cross-over between musicians and coders. Seem to remember one of the original programmers of Clipper was the keyboard player from Steely Dan.
The guys from Boston were all MIT grads as far as I can remember.

The original keyboard players from back when "Moog" was the only game in town were all hardcore soldering-gun wielding chip and A/D inteface programmers!
