Book Review

       This book review is on an interesting science fiction series that begins with the book The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The book, like many other sci-fi books deals with aliens, but not in the green, antennae growing, "take me to your leader" sort of way. You meet these aliens while following the journey of Arthur Dent and Ford Perfect. Their entire journey  begins when the Earth is destroyed to make way for a inter space highway. Along the way the two men meet the President of the Galaxy, an interesting woman, an extremely happy ship, and a depressed robot. The book is full of fun and excitement that keeps you wondering what happens next.  The book left me laughing out loud in an ending no one could have predicted. The other books in the series are The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, Life,the Universe and Everything, So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish, Young Zaphod Plays it Safe, and Mostly Harmless. A TV series was also created after the book, and a hilarious movie.

Food for Thought

       I won't take credit for this because it was first aired on Person of Interest, but I think it is something that everyone should think about at some point in their life.
       Pi is and infinite number. We all know that. If pi goes on forever, then it contains every possible number combination. That means it has your EXACT phone number, and mine. It has your social security number and mine. It has everyone's phone number, social security number, birthday, age, and every other number combination ever used in your life. Now, if we changed those numbers to letters, pi would also contain other things about you. It would have everyone's full name, their parent's name, and every word you have ever said. It would even contain the name of the first place you worked and the name of your first car. In fact, because it contains every possible numeric combination, and therefore every alphabetic and word combination, If the numbers were turned into letters, this very paragraph I am writing would be in pi.
