And the Vogons, well, they blew up the whole earth so some Intergalactic bureaucrat could get to work 5 light years faster ...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660089177097719300.post-79855664931563769092015-10-16T12:26:27.991-07:002015-10-16T12:26:27.991-07:00Real bad, those two -- seconded!
