In fact, the average Vogon probably wouldn't even think once. They are simple-minded, thick-willed, slug-brained creatures, and thinking is not really something they are cut out for. Anatomical analysis of the Vogon reveals that its brain was originally a badly deformed, misplaced and dyspeptic liver. The fairest thing you can say about them, then, is that they know what they like, and what they like generally involves hurting people and, wherever possible, getting very angry.
One thing they don't like is leaving a job unfinished--particularly this Vogon, and particularly--for various reasons--this job. He heaved his monumentally vile body round in his ill-fitting, slimy seat and stared at the monitor screen on which the starship Heart of Gold was being systematically scanned.
It mattered little to him that the Heart of Gold, with its Infinite Improbability Drive, was the most beautiful and revolutionary ship ever built. Aesthetics and technology were closed books to him and, had he had his way, burnt and buried books as well. It mattered even less to him that Zaphod Beeblebrox was aboard. Zaphod Beeblebrox was now the ex-President of the Galaxy, and though every police force in the Galaxy was currently pursuing both him and this ship he had stolen, the Vogon was not interested.
He had other fish to fry. It has bee n said that Vogons are not above a little bribery and corruption in the same way that the sea is not above the clouds, and this was certainly true in his case. When he heard the words integrity or moral rectitude, he reached for his dictionary, and when he heard the chink of ready money in large quantities he reached for the rule book and threw it away.
In seeking so implacably the destruction of the Earth and all that therein lay he was moving somewhat above and beyond the call of his professional duty.
There was even some doubt as to whether the said bypass was actually going to be built, but the matter had been glossed over. He grunted a repellent grunt of satisfaction. Mixed up somewhere in the smile was a glint of irony too.
Though the Vogon persistently referred to him as 'my private brain care specialist' there was not a lot of brain to take care of, and it was in fact Halfrunt who was employing the Vogon. He was paying him an awful lot of money to do some very dirty work. As one of the Galaxy's most prominent and successful psychiatrists, he and a consortium of his colleagues were quite prepared to spend an awful lot of money when it seemed that the entire future of psychiatry might be at stake.
Halfrunt's smile did not flicker for an instant. The natural and healthy channelling of the aggressive instincts into acts of senseless violence. We are clearly both very well adjusted in our mental attitudes today. Now tell me, what news of the mission? And the occupants? They are the last. It is most regrettable. His mouth continued to smile, but his eyes frowned slightly.

Regular kitchen walkthroughs help businesses cut down expenses. Nov 19th, The following is the ending text from Minecraft. It's actually a really good read, so I'd reccommend reading it if you have the time, it isn't too long. Voice 2: I see the player you mean. Voice 2: That is how it chooses to imagine many things, when it is deep in the dream of a game. Voice 1: Words make a wonderful interface.
Very flexible. And less terrifying than staring at the reality behind the screen. Voice 2: They used to hear voices. Before players could read. Back in the days when those who did not play called the players witches, and warlocks. And players dreamed they flew through the air, on sticks powered by demons.
Voice 2: This player dreamed of sunlight and trees. Of fire and water. It dreamed it created. And it dreamed it destroyed. It dreamed it hunted, and was hunted. It dreamed of shelter. Voice 1: Hah, the original interface. A million years old, and it still works. But what true structure did this player create, in the reality behind the screen? Voice 2: No. It has not yet achieved the highest level. That, it must achieve in the long dream of life, not the short dream of a game.
Voice 1: But there are times it is sad, in the long dream. It creates worlds that have no summer, and it shivers under a black sun, and it takes its sad creation for reality. Voice 2: To cure it of sorrow would destroy it. The sorrow is part of its own private task. We cannot interfere. Voice 1: Sometimes when they are deep in dreams, I want to tell them, they are building true worlds in reality.
Sometimes I want to tell them of their importance to the universe. Sometimes, when they have not made a true connection in a while, I want to help them to speak the word they fear. Voice 1: Sometimes I do not care. They see so little of reality, in their long dream. Voice 1: No. A story that contains the truth safely, in a cage of words.
Not the naked truth that can burn over any distance. Voice 1: Take a breath, now. Take another. Feel air in your lungs. Let your limbs return. Yes, move your fingers.
Have a body again, under gravity, in air. Respawn in the long dream. There you are. Your body touching the universe again at every point, as though you were separate things. As though we were separate things. Voice 2: Who are we? Once we were called the spirit of the mountain. Father sun, mother moon. Ancestral spirits, animal spirits.
The green man. Then gods, demons. Aliens, extraterrestrials. Leptons, quarks. The words change. We do not change.
