Who is Zaphod Beeblebrox?
Three arms, two heads, and one big ego. Zaphod Beeblebrox is cool. He's so cool you could keep a side of meat in him for a month. He's also the president of the galaxy - or at least, he was until he stole the starship Heart of Gold, and went on a jaunt to find the fabled planet of Magrathea.
He's not quite sure why. There might have been fabulous wealth involved, but he might have been searching for the real ruler of the universe.
When faced with the horrifying prospect of being fed into the Total Perspective Vortex, he thought first of his stomach, and secondly of a trip to a disco.

Zaphod Beeblebrox Quotes
"Life is wasted on the living."
"If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now."
"Magrathea's been dead for five million years,' said Zaphod; 'Of course it's safe. Even the ghosts will have settled down and raised families by now."
"I am so amazingly cool you could keep a side of meat in me for a month. I am so hip I have difficulty seeing over my pelvis."
"That's it,' said Zaphod with the sort of grin that would get most people locked away in a room with soft walls."
"'Hey this is terrific!' Zaphod said. 'Someone down there is trying to kill us!'
'Terrific,' said Arthur.
'But don't you see what this means?'
'Yes. We are going to die.'
'Yes, but apart from that.'
'APART from that?'
'It means we must be on to something!'
'How soon can we get off it?'"
Zaphod to Trillian: Hey slim, are you wearing my underwear? 'Cause I'm wearing yours, and they're not doing the trick.
You Zarkin' Frood!

- The 1981 was one of my favourite programmes of all time. I enjoyed the new film too - the lemon thing was different, especially for those who are familiar with the Gargleblaster.
