Unintended consequences
17th April 2013

I happened to see a spot of baseball in passing last night – San Diego versus the LA Dodgers on ESPN America – and I suddenly realized that everyone was wearing the number "42".
    “It’s Douglas Adams Day,” one of the audience told me when I mentioned it.
    No doubt the descendants of the American guy who wore the number would be quite dischuffed to know that. (6-3 Padres final, ending a 5-match losing streak.)
