Not if we SCANNED FOR LIFEFORMS, using a LIFEFORM SCANNER. um hellllooooo.

possibly, but their so distant that contact is impossible for at least the next few thousand years.

What he said. Everyone has a lifeform scanner. You're so 2230s Dhark.

No your all wrong we would consult the ancient tablets that give us the key to finding the right galaxy/system/planet, that will be found by me. In accordance with the prophacies.

Don't forget the Ancient Texts. The Tablets are useless without the texts.

But you can only read the tablets in total darkness and need to read them out of this hat with the spritual light they give off.

"The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a very unevenly edited book and contains many passages that simply seemed to its editors like a good idea at the time.

"One of these (the one Arthur now came across) supposedly relates the experiences of one Veet Voojagig, a quiet young student at the University of Maximegalon, who pursued a brilliant academic career studying ancient philology, transformational ethics and the wave harmonic theory of historical perception, and then, after a night of drinking Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters with Zaphod Beeblebrox, became increasingly obsessed with the problem of what had happened to all the ballpoints he'd bought over the past few years.

"There followed a long period of painstaking research during which he visited all the major centres of ballpoint loss throughout the galaxy and eventually came up with a quaint little theory which quite caught the public imagination at the time. Somewhere in the cosmos, he said, along with all the planets inhabited by humanoids, reptiloids, fishoids, walking treeoids and superintelligent shades of the colour blue, there was also a planet entirely given over to ballpointlife forms. And it was to this planet that unattended ballpoints would make their way, slipping away quietly through wormholes in space to a world where they knew they could enjoy a uniquely ballpoint-oriented lifestyle, responding to highly ballpoint-oriented stimuli, and generally leading the ballpoint equivalent of the good life.

"And as theories go this was all very fine and pleasant until Veet Voojagig suddenly claimed to have found this planet, and to have worked there for a while driving a limousine for a family of cheap green retractables, whereupon he was taken away, locked up, wrote a book, and was finally sent into tax exile, which is the usual fate reserved for those who are determined to make a fool of themselves in public.

"When one day an expedition was sent to the spatial coordinates that Voojagig had claimed for this planet they discovered only a small asteroid inhabited by a solitary old man who claimed repeatedly that nothing was true, though he was later discovered to be lying.

"There did, however, remain the question of both the mysterious 60,000 Altairan dollars paid yearly into his Brantisvogan bank account, and of course Zaphod Beeblebrox's highly profitable second-hand ballpoint business."

Just build the thing from Event Horizen. Istant travel to where ever you need to go....so what if you land in hell once every so often...

OfaLoaf · 2004-05-09, 08:22 AM

Make an inprobability drive.

All we need to do is figure out Matter-Antimatter containment and Robert's your father's brother tbh.

Is that where that ship went in that movie? I only saw the last third of it. I just assumed it somehow got out of the universe and the stuff outside the universe was fucked up.

thats easy just get a cylender or somethinge with a vacum inside, and put the antimatter there there, with magnetic fields that cause teh antimatter to be suspended in the center not thoguthing the walls
