Living Mattress

[LuxorV]

From Life, the Universe, and Everything, one of my favourite scenes. Marvin is wondering in a circle on Squornshellous Zeta, when Zem (one of the living mattresses that grow in the swamps of the planet) approaches him and wants to have a conversation:

"I gave a speech once," he said suddenly, and apparently

unconnectedly. "You may not instantly see why I bring the subject

up, but that is because my mind works so phenomenally fast, and I

am at a rough estimate thirty billion times more intelligent than

you. Let me give you an example. Think of a number, any number."

"Er, five," said the mattress.

"Wrong," said Marvin. "You see?"

The mattress was much impressed by this and realized that it was

in the presence of a not unremarkable mind. It willomied along

its entire length, sending excited little ripples through its

shallow algae-covered pool.

Initial design

Actual vig

Note Marvin's right leg is black. It is not his original leg, cause he lost it in an accident with a black stunt-ship in the previous book...

Great little vig, I love these ones, they really reflect the character of the books (which are great, if anyone out there hasn't read them, may dragons swallow them whole!! >:-) )

[Lt. Col. Thok]

lolz!

That is my favourite part of the book, possibly even the trilogy. I believe that you captured the essence of the scene well. *y* *y*

Pretty funny and neat! :-D

[LuxorV]

Thanks :-$

I initiailly planned to stop with this one, but I had some ideas for more. So you'll have to take them others, too X-D

See you next week ;-)

Just don't take my idea! Give me some more time... X-D

Another cool vig, to go with a great trilogy!

Cool! :-D Please keep it up for a bit longer if you can; you might actually persuade someone to read the books. Perhaps I should join in... 8-|

My thoughts exactly - I still have Marvin here and he's unemployed now...

Oh, and this Vig' is cool.

Poor old Marvin.
