Check out the real-life Guide, created with the cooperation and blessing of Adams himself, and still going strong. Sample recent entries: "Hadrian's Wall: A Journey Along the Edge of the Empire," "Coin Flipping - Conflict Resolution on the Cheap," and "Hats in Doctor Who." it's a sometimes strange and strangely useful collection of information, divided neatly into Life, The Universe, and Everything (else)!
