I dun gettit :(

Google: Guide Galaxy Whale Petunias

or if yer really lazy, watch the damn moviefilm:

Seen the movie. Didn't remember the bit about the petunias.

It's a classic bit where when arriving at Magrathea and dodging some compimentary nuclear missiles the Improbability Drive randomly creates a sperm whale and a bowl of petunias, the whale new to existence tries to come to grip with its surroundings, puzzling out what to call itself and wondering if that thing it named "ground" that is rapidly approaching will be friends with it. Conversely the bowl of petunias only had a single thought "oh no not again" which scholars believe if we understood the meaning of we'd know a lot more about the universe.

Classic HHGTTG bit!

and if you visit the moviefilm link I provided, you'll notice in that 2005 movie there's a certain familiar face delivering the message about the missiles coming their way...

@ 8:30 -- and yes, you should put on your 3D glasses

Oh yes, one of my favourite parts.

Also the original Marvin is in the queue when the gang goes to rescue Trillian from the Vogons.

It's funny you mention that because when I see who's online I almost invariably see someone viewing this thread, magic keyword combo!

It's like the time I put the terms "batman porn" on a page just to see how it would trend

It trended.

(I have just potentially boosted the popularity of this tread with the thought of naked catwoman boobs)
