Random?  Hardly.  It was a satire - the subject matter would be based on social issues, world events at the time, and previously made scientific or philosophic statements.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.

Here it is!

However, this, the Chuck Norris page, and the "french military victories" page were not made by Google and were never endorsed by Google.

They were Google Bombs.

I think it's a vastly amusing thought that elephants are so afraid of heights that when Dwarves invented the Z-axis, they couldn't bear to face dwarves in combat anymore.

None of that stuff.  I hate Douglas Adams because EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD thinks he rocks.  And I dont' like anything that other people like, like apostrophes in the contraction.  I put them on the edge, just like me.  I'm on the edge, against the grain.

Anyway, yeah, I remember the Chuck Norris thing, although the military victories thing is new to me.

I keep confusing Douglas Adams with Scott Adams... though I have to agree. I'm not sure why people like him so much. I prefer the latter guy. He acts less like an ubernerd / princess.

Try to type 'google pirate' and hit 'I'm feeling lucky'

The page is pretty old though, so it doesn't support most of google's new features.

I was hoping that a search for "Dirty Harry" or at least "Clint Eastwood" would turn up something interesting if you clicked "I'm feeling lucky".

@Inaluct: I'm similar in a way. I tend to avoid anything that's been widely accepted, but bear in mind that Douglas Adams is widely accepted among nerds. It's like being one of the world's most respected abortion docters.

I'll agree that he is hyped up a little. Adams is good, but compared to Terry Pratchett (whom he is constantly compared to) he's kinda "meh".

"that stupid 42 thing" was pretty nice the first time I read it, but that's definetly not as great as some of the ideas he had.

What about the couch that got wedged in the corner at the stairs in such a way it could not be removed? technically, mathematically impossible, full of wonder. Til the cops come and take it apart with chainsaws instead of staring in awe  ;D

Or what about the sunglasses that protect you from (noticing) harm?

I never understand this position of 'Lots of people like it. Therefore I must not like it.', it not impossible for something to be popular and to be good. It also not bad for something to be good and commercial.

As for the liking Douglas Adam, it depends on when you read him. If you read him at late teens early 20, it something else. You'll find LotR fantatics love that novel more because they read it in that time frame then when they read Hitch Hiker.

I love Douglas Adam, his wit in those novels are unparalleled. He not my absolute favorite sci fi author. I much perfer hard scifi. But there mostly good novels, such as terry pratchet novels are good to.
