Serious question for you, if you want to laugh your ass off: Do you know who Douglas Adams was?

Mr. "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" Douglas Adams?

I had the Infocom text-based game patterned after it as a teen.

If it is he to whom you are referring, it was a shame he passed on at his relatively early age.
